barcelona is beautiful

hi everyone!

we're in barcelona today... we landed in girona spain yesterday morning... it was cool the ryanair planes are so small that the bridge from the plane to the airports are too high... so we have to get off the plane and walk on the tarmac! we grabbed a coach bus to barcelona and were simply overwhelmed... we had a moment of feeling in over our heads since there was such a language barrier... the information booths were a little help but no where as helpful as the london ones... it was a reality check! haha

we tried calling the hostel but the phone ate our coins so there we were... completely lost as to how we're gonna find a place to spend the night. we decided to try our luck at this one hostel on "les ramblas" a really popular street in barcelona... wouldn't you know it we got the last room! its on the 3rd floor with a crescent shaped balcony overlooking the street! it's beautiful! barcelona is hot hot hot! so far we've been walking around the many many many small streets with shops. we found one street selling the coolest necklaces and accessories so i've picked up 2 things already!

today we went to the pisasso museum and got pooed on. only 3 euros with student card! it was cool... the museum is actually a renovation of about 5 buildings side by side each built in the medieval times. we'regonna catch a bus tour after this. tomorrow will be our last day in the city.... we're going to be using our eurail passes to go to nice tomorrow.

ok let's talk about the poo story... you didn't think i'd just brush by that little bit of information did you? haha ok so we were walking around the arc de triomf south through the parc de la ciutadella and by the zoo... this lady tapps us on the shoulder and tells us "dirty" and were like huh? and then i see the back of apryl's shirt and pants... there is this brown liquid poo dripping off of her.. ahhhhh so i try to clean it off and apryl is bent over laughing her head off cuz i have it on my back too and don't even know it! i think some monkey with a diarria problem pooed on us as we walked under a tree... apryl thinks it's some kinda bird that did it... well anyways... we got pooed on in barcelona! hahaha

catalunya is this central plazza in barcelona. les ramblas is just one of the streets that end in this circle
arc de triomf... if this doesn't scream i'm in spain and i'm loving it..i dunno what will
we went to the beach... look how great this sand is... i'm so relaxed
this is the very spot we discovered we had been pooed on!
this is our awesome room on les ramblas! we really lucked out... there is so much character in a building like this!
