ok. finally...i have a full tummy, some time to spare and a decent keyboard (with a not so decent internet connection) to write.
since i last posted, i spent some more days in barcelona. luckily, i opted to spend a bit more money and stay at a better hostel with my own individual room and sink! luxury, i´m tellin´ ya...i was able to catch the end of La Merce 08 (Barcelona´s big annual festival) and there was a big ¨show¨ at the end of the night...INCREDIBLE! by far one of the coolest things i have witnessed. it´s too difficult to explain really, but it was a 45+ mins show of fireworks, water and music. i found an old youtube of the same show...if you really care to take a peak...though i´m afraid it doesn´t do it justice. the rest of the days were spent strollin´the metro, window shopping (actually, i spent a couple whole days just looking at clothes and trying on things) and lurking through turisty & local neighborhoods. plus, i got to catch julieta venegas live at this hip little amphitheatre. she´s not too popular out here. so, the crowd was small, but everyone was so into it and she did a great great job. it really was an awesome time..even if it meant runnign full speed to try to catch the last metro after the show ended :)
lots of other silly details that i could write about, but maybé i´ll save them for later. i´m in a town called Sitges right now. it´s çpretty cool. larger than cadaques, but of course, much much smaller than barcelona. the beach here is beautiful and the ocean not as cold :) so, i imagine i´ll do the same thing today that i did yesterday...lay out on the beach and take a chilly dip in the SALTY mediterranean. ok, the people that own this internet cafe are starting to freak me out. i´better jet...attachd is a video of the La Merce show. be patient with it...i think the fun stuff starts about a minute in...
