Catalonia Free

     Nearly everywhere in Catalonia the flag flown was not the one of Spain. The Catalonia flag was everywhere. It was like driving in the South in the United States and seeing the Confederate flag here and there. The people in Barcelona could be heard talking about the fact that they do more for their country than they get back. I am not sure what is true, but one can understand the feeling of not belonging. Increasingly California and especially Northern California feels the same.
