day one down

i´ve survived my first day and night in barcelona. hehe. there is so much to say...i don´t even know where to begin really. it´s gorgeous here. the weather is amazing. i´m staying literally on the ocean. i walk right outside and BAM there is the mediterranean. i wandered the streets of barcelona yesterday, discovered shops, churches, food, drinks...saw the pablo picasso museum nestled in some back alley streets and listened to the spanish guitar filter through the streets. it was so nice. if you know the song "quisa, quisa, quisa" then you can get a clearer picture of how perfect it felt for a moment. i then walked on and found a great band playing at the boat port. they were some sort of Cuban, Spanish, Mexican and African blend of music. Amazing...blew Austin´s "live music capital" spiel out of the water. i have to write in a hurry to catch some breakfast and get started today..im off to see gaudi´s architecture.

on a completely different note, i´m sharing a hostel room with 7 german men. none of which i´ve actually met, except to see one climb on his bunk above me at 4am with nothing but tight boxers in my face. then, i awoke this morning to listen to the 7 german men and their new, german lady friends all around me. i don´t understand or speak a word of german. well, except for "oma" and "beer". somehow, i dont´think i can form a cool opening sentence with grandma and beer...

time to jet.

love you all!!

It reminds me so much of my stay in Barcelona, except instead of being surrounded by Germans... it was Sweeds... one of which kicked Cerrin in the face when her drunk ass fell off the top bunk next to her. Enjoy all the Gaudi sites and the nude beaches!
