Que los gays tienen el morro fino, damos fe! quien ha visto alguna vez una tienda donde puedes comprar jamón cortado a mano??

Y un bar que está dividido en dos locales a ambos lados de la calle?? Pues hay que ver como se lo pasan, en plan terracita parisina, todo el mundo mirando a la calle y chicos ojo! cuidado porque os pasan revista!

Nos dirigimos a ...

... for the day, we caught the train back to Barcelona and walked the Ronda de Catalonya...which was pretty cool. Lots of shops (more upscale than Las Romblas maybe) and lots of tapa restaurants and cervecerias. We ate dinner at one and walked home. Steph called home and I went to the roof of our hotel to observe our habitat as the sun went down... All in all, a pretty cool day...

... street performers and they were cool but I was like keep going when I get to Las Rambles it will be better! Then all of a sudden these kiosk type things start opening up on this street - but they are like pet stores!!!! WEIRD so I laugh and take some pictures- the first one is birds and baby bunnies then a little farther up was turtles ferrets and bunnies then I am walking and had to stop and start laughing NO WAY I heard what I heard I must ...

... that’s the end of my vacation, but other things have since happened too, so I’ll continue on but it might not be that exciting for you. (remember these email “journals” are being written for you, my readers, but also for me!) So, school starts back with a flurry of activity. Meetings, tests, and homework oh my! I meet with the school again because they are still trying very hard to get me to stay here for another year. I still haven ...

... sit with their dogs and shopping carts next to teenagers with piercings in their cheeks and eyebrows who sip Estrella Damm beer from the bottles until they have to return to work or class. The city has a pulse that is totally distinct from any other place in Europe, from any other city in Spain. Other observations: There are recycling containers for paper, plastic and glass on almost every corner and the slogan Barcelona Neta (clean Barcelona) can be seem in many places. Every metal ...

... garage who replaced the alternator that day. We left him there to get it fixed and hit the toll roads to get some ground as it was nearly 1600 and not gone far. Found a place to free camp in Meze. Cy and Ants caught up with us a few hours later, all back together again!!

... or Gothic Quarter, where the buildings dated back as far as the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Barcelona Cathedral (Le Seu) is here, although again it was covered in scaffolding and we didn't want to pay to get in. However, we sat and listened to this woman play some kind of harp and she had the most amazing haunting mesmerising voice singing I'm not sure what, but she was incredible. I'll try and put the video on this entry. Later that day, we decided to go and watch a ...

... your face as you whizz down the roads in barcelona with temperature like 16º!!! (remember scenes from movies?? exactly!!) thereafter, we had a great exercise...........helping him move his newly purchased furniture back to his place. (hah i know you girls so well..) dinner was yummy, with lovely wine and tales of past relationships poured forth. and of course, we simply had to hit to a gay bar (at my expense ...

Well initially we were quite disappointed when we discovered that our hotel was not in Barcelona, but Sitges. However, once we got there and saw the gorgeous Mediteranean Sea, and the white sandy beach we were thrilled. Our hotel was right on the beach and little restaurants and bars lined the small streets. We enjoyed tapas of mussels, and anchovy stuffed olives and really typical Spanish cuisine like seafood ...
