Of course some sightseeing took place as well. A wonderful visit to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya and the Sagrada Familia under the perfect leadership of Past-President Joaquima Alemany. Secretary General Mireia Huerta took good care of us. Hopefully the Board will be able to see one another again in Marrakesh in November 2016 during the LI Executive Committee Meeting.
