  1. @expat, I was not able to visit that part of Spain, but I did stay in Barcelona this July. Our hotel, Catalonia Magdelenes, offered up quite a surprise. During excavation of the site, the remains of a Roman aqueduct were unearthed! The hotel preserved the site, installing a plexiglass floor and case in the lobby so visitors can view the discovery. We absolutely loved our visit to Spain!
  2. Agree. Not coin related but they lost not 1, but 2, original state Supreme Court disciplinary files. Shipped 2 months apart, never to be seen again.
