How to relax & be creative in this crazy city

A lot of the below reco's were inspired from a book I've been reading here called "Letters to a Young Artist: building a life in Art" by Julia Cameron. - Make time for your art. No need to follow a perfect schedule- you're there to live in the moment- but it doesn't hurt to set aside some daily writing or drawing time. Mornings can work best because it's a good way to release mind vomit before starting your day. - Bring your sketch pad everywhere. Sketch your favorite paintings/ sculptures at...

Barcelona.. Best Night Ever

Goodmornin', Today we had such a good b/fast. There was freshly squezed OJ, yohgurt and a really good selection of cereals. We drove to Barcelona today and got there by about 12-12.30 where we got dropped off at the centre square where the staute of Chris Columbus is (i frequently called him the statue of david so if i make that mistake in the following entry - excuse my ignorance... ). We did a bit of shopping, I went to an internet cafe and afterwards got the most delicious lollies ever and...

The day after....

My oh my, the morning after.. after falling asleep around 7am who knows why I was up and about at 9am.. certainly not I. But I was not going to let a free b/fast escape my grubby lil fingers. I went downstairs - barely able to stomach any food - and recounted the hilariousity of the night before to all those that did not witness it. Oh man it was funny. After breakky i went back upstairs - Ash still passed out (sleeping) in my bed and tried to get back to sleep. I was clearly still drunk from...

Barcelona - Day 1

... We got a two day ticket for the metro and made our way to the Barcelona cathedral. We had to stop to get something to eat (of course). The cathedral was under renovation so there was equipment everywhere. As the day wore on, it became apparent that virtually everything is under renovation in Barcelona! The cathedral was built in the 14th and 15th centuries.
We wandered around the area and decided that we would do the ...

Two days, 1 night in Barcelona

We traveled for roughly 24 hours to get here since yesterday, and neither of us slept much on the planes, so we arrived in Barcelona at 8:30am exhausted. However, we cannot check into our hostel until 5pm, so we planned to just start sightseeing straight from the airport.

We went straight to Park Guell, which is a park designed and constructed by Barcelona's pride, architect Antoni Gaudi. When we got there at 9am, the park ...

Bombes, Bombers and Ballistics in Barcelona
Bombes - delicious potato and meat filled balls of yummy tapas goodness. Mat was a total convert to the concept of tapas, which he had somehow never encountered before, and I think we may have tried every type of tapa Barcelona has to offer! Apart from eating, we walked a lot, and scaled (okay, took feniculars up) some lovely peaks to get fantastic views of the whole city. On day 1, we ...

Barcelona - the final tour

... or so we kept telling ourselves!). Then that night we all met up with Debbie, another McGill'er who was on exchange in Barca for a great dinner of tapas, but done with a bit of a modern flare. We were going to go out that night but were simply too pooped! On Monday, I decided on a whim to change my flight to Tuesday morning and spend that last night with the girls instead of leaving early - PLUS Debbie told us she could get us a ...

Barcelona

Day one - having arrived to meet up with my godchildren and their parents who have now moved from Canada, the sun was shining, there was a pool in the back garden and we had even survived the traumas of Ryan Air. Day two - we took in the sights of Barcelona. We started with the Cathedral (pretty nice) and wandered the streets which were lovely, clean and wide. Lots of cafes and outdoor eateries which gave it a fun atmosphere. For some reason it was a real challenge to find the ...

Barcelona... friendly!

... found them to be taking photos of me in all my glory. Go figure! The cost is 21 euro a night ($35), which includes breakfast which I failed to get up for today. Once the other people checked out by 11, I had the room to myself so slept till early afternoon. The hostel, at the moment, doesn´t have the good feel of other hostels I´ve been to. Tonight, I´ll be sharing with a family including one boy who is about 10 which I find ...

discovering the charms of 'tourism'

... a day and keep the rest of the day free to explore. My weekend in London was barely enough for me to explore Central London properly much less to say other parts. I spent half a day in the national gallery (which i highly recommend when you and tarn visit London) and rest of the time was spent eating and roaming around main streets. Which is also why after one month in barca, i have yet to visit the many famous ...
