Hotel Salles Ciutat Del Prat Barcelona

... tonight is our friends last night of traveling so we are going to a huge club called "bikini". Apparently it has 3 floors...i´m looking forward to the salsa floor. Tomorrow we leave for San Sebastion at 7:30am. It supposed to be beautiful...you can rent surfboards form our hostel there. We all have misquito bites all over our bodies and we´ve all caught a cold, but we keep on trucking. Only 6 days left :(

... exceeded my expectations. It is so
strikingly different from any other building, much less church you've
ever seen. I've seen exterior pictures of the towers, but was totally
blown away by the interior. I've added to my bucket list to come back
when it is finished.

...and then, I will tell you about where I am now! I left the airport and bought a map, then caught the train into the city, hoping to see some of the cathedral´s art treasures, and maybe something of Picasso who has a museum here. <i have found a little internet shop at the moment, and so ...

... some people! Back for the second half and the drizzle in the King Baudouin Stadium had become heavy rain. The pace of the match had slowed down. Neither Spain nor Belgium could play their game on a cloggy surface. Aware of the importance of winning the three points, the players began to get frustrated and there were a few nasty moments. Me and Sergio, with half an eye on the game, talked football. Favourite players. Legendary matches. A bit of a ...

... when you ask for it. I guess there's also some meat that sounds similar- so don't be amazed if you get sent to the butcher.... - No, they don't use the same plugs as we do- buy an adapter (or 2 or 3.) - In Italian restaurants, they don't give you parmesean cheese and/or red pepper- but you do get some funny looks when you ask for it. - The only thing America has contributed to the world (with the exception of music and movies), is fast food restaurants. So, we're ...

... that I am, I taught her a list of slang terms that she could take back home that will earn her immediate street cred on the rough streets of Switzerland. They include: - YO! whatz your 411? = hello there; what´s your phone number (or address)? - Fo shizzle ma nizzle = I agree with you 100% my African-American brother - Back dat ass up = You are a very pretty girl and I wish to ...

... and executing political prisoners. Neither of those is really described at the site, but they do have a military museum showcasing a wide assortment of weapons used or captured by Spanish soldiers. Now that I think of it, we haven't really seen any military museums at all, perhaps we should go find one in Madrid. I guess you don't have many when you have a history of losing. They ...

... sins. This is why the Temple is not yet finished: it depends solely on contributions. What a romantic concept to begin this architectural legacy with. And apparently its construction still has 25 more years to go! Gaudi was appointed Project Director when he was a young upcoming architect, just one year after the church project began. He continued to work on the project for forty years until his death, when he left plans, drawing, studies, and ...

... with activity. Easter was the following day and there was an air of festivity on the waterfront. We only had a few hours to explore before having to get ready for a World Cruise Event in the evening. We decided to take the "hop on/off' tour bus to be sure to see all of the important sites. Lou had been here before, but it was a business-related trip, so he didn't have much opportunity for sightseeing. There is a real mix of modern and old here in Barcelona. The ...

... bad I have to leave Spain before the weekend. Pilar says the best times are on the weekend. No worries, I'll be back before too long. I sat next to a girl who looked like the Spanish/Latin actress from the Six Days movie or whatever with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche. She didn't speak any English, so I got some good practice with my Spanish. Thanks for visiting!
