NH Sant Boi Sant Boi de Llobregat

... are too!! So while show was thus occupied Kim and I punished ourselves by doing an exercise circuit along the esplanade before a well earned scrambled eggs breaky.

After much searching we found the local Aire de Servicio to top up water before heading further south…

The flight over was LONG, but then that is to be expected. What was a surprise was the mad dash to connect in Madrid. Up a long ramp into the terminal and then an even longer walk to find Customs and Immigration, and another long walk to the new domestic gate. Total time between flights, approximately 30 min. Anyone ...

Sono quasi le sei di mattina e sono completamente stravolto, coi tamburi che mi battono nelle orecchie, sento ancora il PAPAPAPA che mi fa vibrare tutto dentro come la corda di un violino impazzita, anzi un violoncello, che fa più sconvoltooosss. La Gianna gianna gianna mi ha trascinato all'APOLO una serata/nottata/alba ballerina in una specie di cineteatrosavoia trasformato in discoteca. Non si entra prima dell'una ma non dopo l'una e mezza sennò non ci ...

Barcellona. Finalmente? L'aeroporto è una divertente versione spagnola della stazione Termini negli anni '80, con soffitti alti, marmo bianco di poco prezzo. La Catalogna (o la Spagna?) mi accolgono con aroma di cipolla che si spande all'interno di tutti i padiglioni fino alle scale mobili che portano in alto verso la stazione. I gusti culinari son chiari. Sulle porte scorrevoli dell'aeroporto hanno affisso la stessa segnaletica dei tranvieri: la barretta ...

... and then we took a minute to chit chat because he had said a few words that I didn't understand and he caught on that I wasn't from Spain. My accent really throws people, they don't immediately assume USA . After talking about Chicago for awhile (that is where I tell people I am from as foreigners won't have heard of my hometown) he got me going in the right direction with only 5 blocks to go to intersect with the street I had needed to find. Perfect. I ...

... architect, Antoni Gaudí. During our travels so far, we've found ourselves standing in countless churches that took hundreds of years to build, usually back in medieval or renaissance times. But you just don't think about a church today taking that long to complete. Construction of the Sagrada Família was begun in 1882 and is still going on today. It is slated for completion in 2026 (the 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death ...

... t sit still, kept jabbing me with her elbow, kept hogging my arm rest, and did I mention she kept jabbing me with her elbow? For over 10 hours!!! Now I´m a reasonable person (no comments from the peanut gallery please) but this was out of control. I couldn´t sleep because every 15 or 20 minutes she´d get all funky again and...well you know. Ouy. My window mate didn´t do this. He was awesome. She...she was like a bull in a china shop with a grenade around ...

... out to move to hawaii to pursue some sort of life goal....photography, writing, maybe just being a beach bum for a while...and for sure learning how to surf. it's been fun... good times, better memories! can't wait to catch up with everyone! love jess

... have them both and throw in some calamari, for good measure. We enjoyed our tapas so much, we had to go back for seconds (and thirds and fourths). After a quick nap, off to the Black Sheep. Had a drink and decided it was time to get ourselves off to a real party...DANCETIME!!!! Went out to a topshelf cub, called Pacha! The owners of Pacha, own most of the clubs in Ibeaza, so you can just imagine the type of party atmosphere. The ...

... was nice. We just dropped our stuff off and headed into Barcelona. At first we just walked around and got some lunch at a small cafe. We all had tapas and this really good rice bowl type thing. After that we bought a map to figure out what there all was to see. Our first stop was the La Sagrada Familia. It is this AMAZING cathedral that was started by Gaudi about a hundred years ago and is still not finished. To finish the project it will take at least another hundred years they ...
