... point I realised we were going to see a few goals - albeit at the other end of the pitch. So, 4 more goals later and it was half time, and now a hat trick for Eto'o. As usual with Barcelona, once the change of ends came not another goal was scored - the fans booed, but little changed - they were in training mode, but who can blame them, 5-0 up and they only get paid £100,000 a week. I have been to many games watching my beloved Liverpool, England and even Claire's team ...

... spectacular! The guitarist played on a beautiful steel guitar which produced some amazing sounds while the pianiast played like he was possessed. As the night went on it became an open mic which got quite strange when an old, homeless man insisted on playing acoustic guitar over the sounds of two African guys performing hip-hop. The next morning Robert, Maurice and I went to the travel bar to do the free walking tour. When we arrived, we were enticed with discounts by a very ...

... a chair and singing opera. I loved all of it, it set the mood. Also, I donated money to an organization for death children, lol. Basically, a woman shoved a piece of paper in my face and pointed to the English. It seemed legitimate, so I scribbled my name down and was going to donate 5 euro, to be a good person (hahaha). But, I couldn't find a 5 euro bill in my wallet and the lady was being nice ...

... lets just say Christine was attempting to put on a show in the Metro with help from Alex. To end Thursday, we had dinner with the people from our workshop at an Italian place. It was yummy!!! We stayed from 9-midnight like the locals. So about today...at the workshop we focused on collaborative story writing, creating Surrealistic pictures and automatic writing. Then we headed back on Ole Faithful (the tour bus ...

... Olympic Venue looking at the view. That must be one of the best venues for a sport as well. Truly a great view! Now it´s late and we are ready to go to bed. I am sure some of the young-ins (ha ha ha ha) will come in after the bars close :) I have enjoyed my self and very grateful for this opportunity to see different parts of the world in spite of certain developments. I am a very lucky girl and even luckier to have such ...

... memories of Brasil come back to me as we speak some Portañol and tell each other South America stories. She tells me I speak really good Spanish for an American which is funny since my Spanish is definitely better than hers (but when she slips in Portuguese words I can understand) I simply MUST go back to Brasil…someday.

Thursday morning I buy some concert tickets in the morning and then get on a bus for Andorra la Vella. The drive rivals some of ...

... las tesis de A. Smith sobre el capital fijo y el capital circulante y sobre la fuente de la ganancia; figura en él, además, un estudio de la relación entre la cuota de plusvalía y la cuota de ganancia, que pertenece al libro III. Las referencias han suministrado pocos hallazgos nuevos, y las versiones, tanto las del libro II como las del III, habían quedado ya superadas por redacciones posteriores, razón por la cual hubieron de dejarse a un lado, en su mayoría. El manuscrito ...

... of course and watched people lining up for a apparently famous restaurant and a whole lot of musicians traditionally dressed come into a nearby restaurant and start playing their Spanish guitar melodies which lulled me into a sense of happiness and peace as l sat and ate my banana. I finally removed myself from the lovely plaza and walked back onto the always busy, always happening and always entertaining La Rambla. I watched Brazilian acrobats perform, numerous street ...

... things down in broken French and slurred English. His friend turned to me at one point and said "You´ve got his back right?" Meaning that if this guy who I just met a few hours ago was to get in to a fight, I was supposed to jump in and help. The aggressive guy took this opportunity to come over and ask "Have you got your butterfly knife on you? Something is about to go down." I took this as my cue to go and mingle. We got talking to some ...

... guys but he was really nice and gentlemanly. The best part was he hardly spoke English so I had a chance to practice my Spanish (which had greatly declined since Guatemala). We then stopped by a really nice bar that was forest inside and part of it had a thousands of Origami animals in the windows lit up by coloured lights. It was all a lot of fun and I was quite lucky to meet a local so easily. Called it a night and headed back to sleep!
