Hola Chicos y Chicas. This is going to be kind of short today. Yesterday was exhausting. I really thought I as going to expel jetlag by some mental force. I figured I hardly sleep much as it is and my diet back home consists of a steady stream of energy drinks and cigarettes, so if I just keep up the pattern I ought to be great, right? As I discovered yesterday at about 5pm yesterday, my body is totally confused and my brain has little power to control. It is a little difficult to maintain a positive mood when you feel this way, but it is difficult to not be totally stoked when you're chillin in BCN.
Yesterday we went to a flea market called Els Encants east of the city, Pl de les Glories Catalanes. It was pretty rad, except that we woke up pretty late and missed a lot of the vendors. After that we went walked around the Sagrada Familia, which is a cathedral built by the famous architect Gaudi. He died in 1926 and was unable to finish the project. It's expected completion is 2030. It is totally amazing.
After that we went to the Parc Ciutatella and then walked round Las Ramblas. I went to hang out with some friends of Bill for about an hour and then afterwards Leon and I went home. We had wanted to go out dancing, but by the time 9pm rolled around we were exhausted.
I am having some trouble posting photos today. If you can, here is a link to my facebook album from Spain and the last few days in Denton. Hopefully everyone can see it:
Conoceme
Hope you all are having amazing days in the states!! Ciao.

ReplyDeleteBeing around all that history, all the monuments and buildings from ages past; worlds past has a definite calming effect on me. Like its much easier to see my small place in the tapestry of time (and space). And yet I'm comforted by the size of it all, of the whole universe... and even just the world of human beings.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you that I cannot possibly express it in words. Safe travels to Madrid!
