Barcelona!!!
Ahh, Barcelona....
Land of many contradictions, firstly that it is only a city, not a land.
Secondly, full of tourists but that three out of four of the tourist attractions we have deigned to visit are actually under renovation. And by under renovation, we mean under a tarp! Including the Miro gardens, all of the miro gardens...
Thirdly, there are traffic lights and road rules but really when I say rules it turns out I mean guidelines, suggestions, subtle but annoying hints.
But really its all going fairly well so far. The Sangria makes everything rosy and Cap´n Peely makes a good Transport engineer, while I have accepted the title of Minister for Housing. We make quite a good team and do an excellent charade whenever we need to buy anything.
Gaudi´s great too, completely mad but just brilliant. The people who gave him money to build stuff must have been crazy or maybe its just the sangria that seems to pour through this city.
I´m warming up to travelling, sangrias helping that along. And the minor achievments like finding dinner and working out the met system make me feel like I might need to hire a cheer squad soon.
There is some excellent yelling going on outside of our hotel in the wee hours, Spainish is a great language to yell in. The beer is cheap and tastes like it costs but if you drink it really fast you just don´t notice...no tastebuds left on my tongue now.
But most importantly, though the Musee de Picasso sucked a lot, a whole bar of perfectly acceptable chocolate costs .65€. I HEART BARCELONA.
