... the shots! One of them had a candy at the bottom and thank god because it tasted awful! We all bought each other rounds and boy did that do us all in! (At least me) Chris bought everyone a “San Goku” shot in honor of our Dragon Ball Z obsession at the moment! We went to a couple other bars around town, steered by our guide Logan, and had a few more shots! There was supposed to be a club afterwards but I was ready for bed. Me and Chris walked back to the hostel and ...

... or are just leaving or something. I´ve found that I´ve told the story of myself and about my travels probably about 50 times at least. It´s a good way to get the ball rolling and also a good way to find out new info about somewhere you want to go. But with me only staying somewhere for 3 or 4 days, you can only become acquaintances up to a certain level. It is what it is though. How much does this cost? Currently I´m paying 1 ...

... found this cute little back street away from the tourist-ville area with lots of restaurants on it. (The street is called 'Carrer dels banys Vells' - behind Eglésia de Santa Maria) It was the type of street that made you feel like you were really in Spain - i.e the restaurants didn't get busy until 10pm which is when the locals eat! Brilliant! On the first night, the restaurant we went to had really unusual food - I had an ox burger ...

Hola amigos! So I know I said I would make a travel blog, and it took me a while to get around to it, but I finally did it. I didn´t want to mostly because I have better things to do then sit inside and write on a computer, but I decided to for two reasons: 1) I want to remember my trip as much as possible 2) I want to make you all jealous of the amazing time I´m having Just kidding on the second one. Kind of. Anyways, I´m in ...

... British ex-pats even here. Of course what they call 'English breakfast' here is really an American breakfast, with hash browns and eggs. A real English breakfast includes stewed tomatoes and baked beans with sausages and eggs. I guess it makes your spouse look more appetizing first thing in the morning. You wouldn't believe the expressions I've seen on foreigners' faces at B&B's in the UK when faced with such a display. It's not ...

Hey there everybody!

Oh come on you can do better than that!! Yeah, I am definitely turning in a teacher when I ask people to respond to a greeting more enthusiastically. The mumbled "good morning Mr. Connor" just doesn't cut it sometimes. Anyways…I feel like I should have a notebook in front of me to figure out where I left off last time, because unfortunately for you I have every intention of completing the story! For those of you that weren’ ...

... 00 for 2 hours. Ski resort: La Molina This is probably the closest ski resort to Barcelona. You can, for example, go by train from the Barcelona Sants station to La Molina and then the connecting bus to the La Molina slopes. It is realy accessible by car bus and train. La Molina is located in a well-situated location, surrounded by mountains of more then 2500 meters. It is the oldest ski resort in Spain, and because the mountains are so high the snow ...

... since no one else got it, that we Americans roll large. That is why we are super-sized people! After gelato, we stopped at a farmer's market with more colors on display than a kaleidoscope. Ivan bought chocolate because he is a sweets-aholic, Nicole fended off a clerk's wooings, and I acted oblivious as usual. Then as if Ivan had not had enough sugar with the gelato and the ...

... to public. The rest of the statue was enclosed in a glass container) Legends said whoever touched the orb would get the blessing from Our Mother ...

... was to go down there just because, and then take the metro down to the Cathedral in the Barri Gothic. Gothic Quarter. So I got down to the Sagrada Familia, wandered a little bit and then decided that it would be more fun to just walk down to the Cathedral and see the area a bit. So I zigzagged down streets in the general direction of the Arc de Triomf, taking pictures of balconies along the way. Best balcony award goes to the city of Barcelona I must say. Eventually got ...
