Barcelona, Pt. I


Hey y'all. We're in Barcelona this weekend, and so far I love this place. It's beautiful here, and the people are very nice. We got in around 8am this morning after an over night train, which was MISERABLE. There were 8 of us crammed in a tiny car for TEN HOURS - that's longer than it took to fly between the States and Europe, and Spain is 2/3 the size of Texas. You do the math.

Anyway, we finally got here and got some breakfast before checking into our hostel. On the one hand it kinda sucks b/c we're pretty far from the city center, but I kinda like it b/c we're up in the hills on the outskirts of the city and the views are AWESOME. It's really pretty up here. And it's really not too bad of a travel into the city w/ the Metro system.

So after we took a 4 hour nap, we went down to the beach, grabbed some lunch, got rained on (which is officially a theme for this summer - it's ALWAYS raining on us). Now we're just kinda hangin' out and gettin' ready to head back into the city tonight for some dinner and a bar. Tomorrow and Sunday are gonna be packed, and I'm excited to see the city!
