Pre-weekend in Barcelona
Last week I was on holidays. I´ve been all over Madrid scattering my curriculums in different hospitals. And then on Thursday I went to Barcelona to the Baxter Coagulopathies Workshop. The course is really good, besides that, I went with friends, which makes it even better. And it was near Barcelona in the Sant Llorent National Park. A very modern and eco-friendly hotel ind a great landscape.
On Friday afternoon we went to a mountain bike ride. I´ve only biked for 5 minutes, it was really uphill, so I decided to back off for my own health (I know, I´m not very fit, I´m not proud of it).

MAMCO
I love museums.
And I really liked this one. But, people at the museum wasn´t polite and even asking them any questions respresented a problem.
Nevertheless, it´s full of great art and installations.
My favorites:
* Thomas Huber´s Fishtanks.
* Christo´s Corridor Store front
* Cècile Bart, suspense at Geneve
* Claudio Parmiggiani, Crypt: it´s really scary, yo have to enter a dark room, and then, after a few seconds inside there, you start seeing hand prints on the walls.

Geneva
A very posh city. Everything´s tidy and clean. Everything´s expensive.
But, despite all that, it´s a very nice city!
It´s curious how I always pictured Europe like this cities, like Geneva for example. Old, different, elegant..., I don´t know.
Everybody told me the only thing to see in Geneva was the jet d´eau and the lake. But I found some great surprises like the museum of contemporary Art (MAMCO) or the old part of the city.
The 3º day, I left the EBMT for a while and did some touristic stuff. My favorites: the broken chair sculpture infront of the United Nations building, the old city, the City hall, the Cathedral, the lake, and of course, the Jet d´eau.
The last morning, it rained, so I only got frozen and wet. I visited the lake on the other side. And then, I went to MAMCO.
I also bought the best souvenir ever!: the Kodak brownie starmite in an antique store.
I came back almost running to the hotel to get the transfer to the airport.
