Capri Sitges

... day before. This place should be avoided at all costs except for the SuperMercado in the basement. And by the way, you should try to visit as many SuperMercados as possible. I don't know why. This store is not a cross between many stores, it is an amalgamation of Macys, Best Buy, Home Depot and Jewel (local grocery store). And it's open all the time except Sunday when everything is closed.

... si guida "alla cieca", come nella peggior tradizione mediterranea; quando il semaforo č verde gli automobilisti poggiano il piede sull'acceleratore e chi li ferma piů: le statistiche riportano che ogni tre morti sulla strada, a Barcellona, uno di questi uccisi era un pedone sfigato. La conformazione delle strade e il loro continuo incrociarsi in piazzette esagonali, che risultano rognose quando se ne deve percorrere il perimetro a piedi per attraversare la ...

... a low cost airline called RyanAir to Zaragoza, Spain. From Zaragoza we were going to take a train to Pamplona. Good Lord. I was told that the 11:50 train to Milan would get us to Bergamo in time to take an hour bus ride which would get us to the airport with enough time to catch our flight. What I was not told was that with RyanAir you HAVE to be there for check in 40 minutes prior to departure. Had everything gone as planned, we ...

... noon in Barcelona after switching trains 2x, in Toulouse and Narbonne at 5am and 9am respectively. We had met up with a couple in Nice who were headed in the same direction for the Sonar festival going on in Barcelona this weekend. Actually, funny story, a random kiwi boy named Christopher walked up to us having a snack outside of the Nice train station and asked if we know whether or not hitchhiking was legal in France. Haha ...

... 8217;s still slightly better than my German. Once in the city center I stopped into hostels looking for a place to stay and after getting lost in the same tiny narrow streets I finally found a youth hostel where I could shove my backpack in a locker and take on the city.

Ah Barcelona. If you haven’t been…please add it to your list. A beautiful seaside city filled with palm trees, history, art, music, narrow winding streets, roman ruins, and ...

... bothered to ask how mucht they were but I am sure expensive. Well that is the summary of Barcelona. This may actually be the last entry from Spain seeing as I am down to 13 days and have 3 tests, 2 research papers, a Flamenco Performance and many sites I still want to see in Granada. I will definitely do a final entry when I am home if I do not get another chance from Spain. Happy December to you all! Enjoy the Christmas Festivities and I will see you all soon!

... want. Most, just not everything. After talking to Mellis, I walk around a bit and find the olde part of town. There's a church with a service going on. Wow, I really am in a Catholic country. It's about 8 and there's a church service. I enjoy the view and than notice everyone is leaving. I wander in the church to hear the organ player, playing the exit hymn. I wander about the church quickly. As the lights are getting flicked off, I decide to leave ...

... especailly considering how young he was. Picasso was the one to invent Cubism. He took a famous painting and painted it many times in many different ways in this new style. Eventually, Picasso got interested in ceramics. The wide collection of Picasso was interesting, the see from beginning to end. All the energy that we had left went into walking around Barcelona for a while. The next day heading to Madrid. Adios.

... building was very ugly (which it kind of is...it must be where the word gaudy came from). But now it's this famous attraction. It was kind of neat to see, but there was nothing else to do there really. Barcelona is one of the more advanced cities along the Mediterranean coast (advanced meaning, more similar to a Canadian city). On my last cruise, did my last Passenger Lifeboat Drill today, only 10 days left! -Shannon
