We arrived around midnight and since all the cahris were taken we slept, if you can call it that, on the cold hard tile spooning the heater.

Carnaval Barcelona Style
... and Kelsey and Eamon would be going to the Barcelona/Zaragoza game, so we decided to meet up after we had gotten settled in our hostels.
