Pensio 2000 Barcelona

... we could see the intricacy of the figures, again drawing on nature with the tree of life theme and doves above. Gaudi himself said that this facade should be the first thing sailors coming to Barcelona should see, and it seems this is the case.

By contrast, the Rose Cloister just behind the Nativity facade is truly stark in its lack of use of colour but so incredibly intricate in the carving of the roses.

One thing we have found is how hard it is to find a ...

... sometimes you are just too hungry or tired to play charades. Some people who you think definitely know English sometimes just don´t have a clue. Then sometimes those hidden fluent people come out of nowhere with it and lend a helping hand. Every time you change countries you have to stop using the 15 words that you know and switch to a whole new language. It sadly took me a few days to drop my poor French. You also have to learn new ...

... that has had a make-over, no luxurious things that makes India what it really is not. All I want to see is the real India in all its splendor and glory. And as for the photos I will try my best not to shoot those photos that later on nobody wants to see, but hey there just so tempting sometimes. Over the past few days Ive been sweeping up and mopping up all the unnecessary information or memories in my mind to ...

... 4tym pietrze. Ah, no i zapomnialabym o najwazniejszym - twarze ludzi sa inne... Kiedy siedze na stolowce, nie moge pozbyc sie wrazenia, ze zaraz przyjdzie i dolaczy do mnie Anna albo Clinton, albo Hydar, albo Miki... Ale ich juz nie ma :( Jest za to nowy team, generalnie go opisujac - sklad balkansko-azjatycki. Jedna Chorwatka (dziele z nia kabine), 1 Serbka, 1 Bosniak (glowny manager), 1 Rumun, 1 Chinka, 3 Filipinczykow (w tym Ronnie, z ktorym pracowalam na Grandeur) i ...

... me hace meter los dedos en el vaso de café, me quemo y se lo tiro a una señora encima! la mujer, forastera y muy amable, se preocupa más por mi que por ella misma. No se cómo pero al final ambos salimos sin manchas aunque el olor a café en la mano todavía me dura. A las 10:00h de la mañana sale el avión desde el Prat.

... hills (I hope ;-) then double dating with Holly (Gem's sister) and Ian. Nothing could go wrong there.... Monday: Fly to Girona Tuesday: Travel to Barcelona Friday: Fly Barcelona to Doncaster, stopping in Sheffield again to catch up with Sam. Saturday: Network Christmas meal- I've got some work to do given the definition of slacking off is currently coined as "doing a Ridgway" due to some previous unfortunate misunderstandings.. ..

... Peppie) ****! All of a sudden my shoulders are fine, my cough is gone and in a split second I'm running full tilt towards them. (Weenie) I think this is where I soiled myself in fear. (Ian) Now now let's not jump to conclusions... (Phil) If I'm counting right this is a bad idea. (Peppie) Get em!!! Screaming to them to stop with obviously no reply I finally catch up to them in the escalator and start yelling to give it back and frantically ...

... frustrating at the time but I eventually made it out. The ****** map I had was of little help and my Spanish comprehension skills were really put to the test. I eventually found the beach...and made sure I had a damn good time there too. My hostel in Valencia was built into the same building as a church. I thought it was odd yet humorous. It wasn't connected at all to the church minus being part of the physical complex. The piazza, or plaza/placa I guess ...

... someone else, and decided that since we stayed awake earlier, we had first dibs on beds. So we entered the bedroom only to find out that our beds had already been chosen for us on our check-in cards. Upon entering the room, we were greeted by a tall, blonde guy with an accent, in his boxer briefs. We exchanged hellos and I continued up to my bunk wondering if this was normal in his country. Poor Mel got stuck with a pathetic bunk bed like you could find in a 6 yr. old's bedroom ...

Wonderful Barcelona, hot and exciting. Good food and plenty to see and do. La Sagrada Familia was awesome, just sat and stared at it. Stayed at a questionable place where there was a fiesta at 2am with blaring music. On top of that it was hotter inside the room than outside.
