Hotel Luna Castelldefels

... Saw for the first time the 'statues' on the ramblas, which is basically people dressed up in costume standing or sitting still like statues, its freaky. They dont move a muscle, and for a second you ask yourself if they really are. <br><br>On another note, ive encoraged a few of the americans to come out sat night. One of which plays golf, so we're gonna find a cheap 9 hole when ive got some cash. <br><br><br>

... Just two carts though, with no seatbelts, no top to the cart, nothing ... just us four, and a stranger, standing up on top of the world. And its HUGE. Half way up, Janice starts really panicking. She is literally white knuckling it as we get to the top, and then BOOM. The ride stops (to give us a view of our surroundings), but it stops so suddenly that it causes our cart to rock back and forth very suddenly and unexpectantly. Scared me to death. Janie shrieked and kept ...

... the 16&euro; entry fee as that would have been my budget blown for the day, but was still pretty impressed from the view outside. I was planning on going out with everyone Saturday night but as i was getting ready it started to thunderstorm and bucket down with rain, which was really intense as its the first lot of rain i have seen in a long while. I decided to have a snooze and wait for it to pass, but woke up close to 12am and decided that i didnt want to leave my incredibly ...

... Now they work construction or something and enjoy the bars and beaches instead of the rain. Last night was the San Juan festival for the longest day of the year so everyone was out drinking and lighting fireworks off on the beach. We met some 18-year old Barcelonians that sat with us on the beach. We talked a lot about the differences between Spain and Canada (that´s where we´re from now by the way) and the United States. The ...

Si, Hostellin aamiaisella oli puoli kymmenen aikoihin ehka noin viisikymmenta nalkaista matkaajaa. Kupillista muroja sai odotella kymmenisen minuuttia, paahtoleivasta puhumattakaan. Pienten torkkujen jalkeen aloitimme oman sightseeing retken. Ensimmainen etappi oli biitsi. Wautsi mita misuja oli biitsi taynna. Ukkomiehina ei ...

... careful consideration, Alec opted for the Barca game. This seemed like it would be pretty easy, since we expected to spend a week in the capital of Catalonia in late September. Two challenges intervened. The first was my failure to book an apartment in advance. We deliberately left one Europe week open to build in some flexibility. I was confident we'd find last-minute bargain accommodation in Barcelona. Boy was I wrong! Turns out late September is ...

... Dublin at midnight (thank goodness it wasn't Shannon this time!) Back in Dublin now and it is finally starting to warm up! It is supposed to be around 19 for the rest of the week. I'm heading up to Belfast this weekend and will be doing a tour of the Giant's Causeway and Derry before my last week of work next week. I just booked the last of my flights so I am feeling a little poor right now (and expect that I will for some time!). Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!!

... fish, etc.) to share at your table. Accompanied by some sangria...it was SO good! We are planning several more of these meals before we leave! Then we walked down to the port area, which was also very nice, did some shopping and just enjoyed walking around the city. Overall, a very nice evening! Tomorrow we plan on seeing some more sites and getting ready for the last 2 World Cup games!

... Ah! So I saw the big stadium, pool, crazy needle like structure, the torch, etc. Lovely place and views over the whole city. Everything felt like you were in giant land. I guess it´s justified though when you think of the scale of the Olympics and the vast number of people that need to be accomodated for. It was an interesting feeling walking around the place though. Not historic, but exciting. This is where the magic happened. You know that excitement you feel ...

... walking distance. I'm really content to be living in Spanish again. My fluency feels so strong now. I continue to learn new vocabulary certainly but I find that there is really very little that I don't understand, it's very exciting. So darlings, there is a brief sketch of my life here...There is so much to say but then so little to say at the same time. My days are not glamorous or particularly exciting, but they do constantly present small challenges in the adaptations that I have to make.
