Barcelona

The next stop on the list, Barcelona. A beautiful city. Our time in Barcelona was very short but I had a wonderful time. The afternoon we got in we relaxed for a very short time and then got some food from a grocery store and made a lunch. We got ready for the night and went out with some friends to a little underground bar. It was called the black sheep and it was really neat inside. We just sat and talked for awhile and drank some sangria. Then we went to a club called Duvet. It was really nice and we stayed for a couple hours after which we went back to our hostel. The next morning we rose early and headed out for some sightseeing. Sadly it was our only day to see the sights. We went to three of Gaudi's buildings. They were absolutely beautiful. I would love to go back some day and see more of his work in Barcelona. We walked down Las Ramblas which is a main street in Barcelona. During the day it is filled with entertainers and people selling animals and all sorts of things. At night it turns into a place of prostitutes and drug dealers. Crazy, I know. We walked along the water and just kind of explored the city some more. It's a very beautiful place with lots of things to do. That night we went out with our friends again to a small bar and then we tried to go to a nice club but were turned away because we weren't dressed appropriately. Apparently our touring clothes aren't good enough. Haha. No big deal we just went down by the water for awhile and hung out. Then it was late enough where it was time for us to head to the bus station so we could make it to the airport for our flight. It was a wonderful place and my only regret is not staying longer. Next stop, the Eiffel Tower.
