... what do Kali'i and I get for dinner? Duck? Pinxto? Stripped sea-bass?<br><br>We get a hamburger and a grilled cheese. Whatever. You guys can suck it. It was wonderful. Mine had bacon, onions, egg and cheese on it. It was way better than some dumb squid or something.<br><br>Once Raphie gets back (he was depressed and wanted to kill himself after seeing the movie), we started meeting everyone from the hostel. This one kid named Jerard ...

Hola! Well I have some extra time before my dad and I catch our plane to Madrid. Since I do, I will take a couple of minutes to let you know what we did this morning. This morning my dad and I walked along Las Ramblas. As I mentioned in my last blog, it is the main boulevard in Barcelona. The boulevard is lined with shops, cafes, and hotels. Down the center of Las Ramblas, you will find different ...

... able to find out that one was from Almeria (Germany) and others from España. But, regardless of the fact that we couldn't understand each other...we still had a great time! We came back to the hotel, made for 2 people, and packed up like some real tourists - 6 in the room! But, I'm so glad I came with these girls....they're really nice people and we're really having a good time.

... a little bit out of town but it had a lovely double bed, free minibar (hellz yes), good bathroom etc. I got ready and met downstairs - everyone looked really nice cos most of us were planning on going out after dinner. It was quite a breezy night so we were all hanging out to get into the warm restaurant... wrong again. Of course we were seated outside next to the water. Not happy!! Dinner was ne of the best meals that we have had sofar. ntree was salad - not the best b ...

... you where something is. I find it too crowded for my taste though and prefer strolling along the much more ample Passeig de Gracia. In fact, my favorite place in the city is probably the big square at the intersection of La Gran Via and Passeig de Gracia. When I´m out at night and I pass that square, it gives me so much "animo", spirit or energy. I like how art fits purposefully into the city and how it is valued. Many avantguard artists came from this area ...

... the culture so early into our visit to the country. It was a huge help for later on. The next day we had to say goodbye since they were staying longer in Bilbao and we had to find a way to Segovia. It turns out there is only one train that can get to you Segovia and it leave at 8am. Needless to say we didn't get to the train station that early. So we decided to come up with plan B. This was to take a train to Salamanca and then a bus to Segovia. Another long train ride later we ...

... everything was fine (except that jo now had no money, credit cards, or id...) we spent the rest of the weekend going nuts. the spanish love a good party, and what better excuse than new years? when the clock strikes midnight on new years, it is traditional to eat 12 grapes, one for each chime of the clock. so thats 12 grapes in 12 seconds people, and let me just infom you that the spanish have not yet embraced ...

... hotel. It seemed like a bit of a tourist trap, but it was good enough. We had some nice sangria, paella and few other interesting appetizers including Razor shell clams. If you've never had razor clams before, these are quite interesting. They are clams that have a long thin shell (about 4 inches long and half and inch wide). The meet of the clam is quite long and chewy as well. It took a bit of getting used to, but apparently they are a local specialty in northern Spain.

... s newer neighborhoods and home to business offices, designer stores and grand apartments. We finished the day with dinner at Tapa Tapa, a tasty tapas restaurant in L'Eixample. As we enjoyed our tapas and sangria, we soaked in the atmosphere of this lively, cultured and lovely city, knowing that Barcelona provided a perfect conclusion to our wonderful 12-day journey through the most beautiful cities of the Mediterranean.
