Flag of Spain and Canary Islands  , Catalonia,
Saturday, June 28, 2008

So today we took a train to Barcelona. The best train I have ever seen in my life!! We took a bunch of baguettes from our hostel's breakfast for the road. Jeff was sitting with a guy from Logan Square. Small world!! Once in Barcelona, we got to our hostel in like 15 minutes. It was in the outskirts of Barcelona. It was so extremely nice and helpful! We were about 8 minutes walk from the beach. We got some crepes and ice cream at this little restaurant. I was nervous speaking Spanish here because Barcelona is kinda anti-mainstream Spain and they have their own Catalonian dialect. I didn't want to offend anyone. But it went smoothly. So we went to the beach. It was so warm and basically all girls were topless. But it's normal.

When we got back we met our roomies. Matt and I forget the girl's name from England, Fyotr from Sweden, and Britt from Cali. Also we just got a new guy from Istanbul. At night we went out for some beers...which were dirt cheap here. We talked about everything so that was awesome. Then Jeff and i went to the beach and hang out at the Meditteranean. We then found food at some Catalan restaurant.

Unfortunately, this had to be our last night at Barcelona Dream hostel. I wish didn't leave it.
