We slept in from our last few intense nights. This week is going to be crazy! We are going to the Alps in a few days! Katie came over and we facebook crept together and ate candy bars, hazelnuts for me, dark chocolate for her. We decided that when you poke someone on facebook it is basically like you just had sex. And Jazz added “so true. Poke someone; u might as well take the morning after pill”. And that was a huge part of today’s conversation.
We decided to go to Parc del Laberint and see the mazes in the North part of the city close to the Mountains. This park was so cute and there was so many families out. We went to the entranced and it was closed. The sign was in Catalan and we couldn’t understand what it said. But a man translated that it was closed because of the huge storm the day before that damaged much of the park. Today there were still gusts, and we looked around and realized that trees were down everywhere as well as signs and other various things. 14 people died in Spain because of these storms, trains were derailed and a few boats were tipped over. I rarely watch the forecast here and just go with it by looking at the sky! I didn’t even know a storm of this magnitude was going to hit Barca, and we still went out and had a great night. I even sat at the beach and got pelted with sand in the face. But with the bars, clubs, spooning, and chats, this weekend couldn’t have been any better.
This is still my favorite quote ever.
“Here in Barcelona, everything was swept aside. The world was turned upside down and stayed there.”
Later in the evening we sat at a café where Katie forgot to pay and they rain after her! We are becoming regulars at a few pubs and cafes and it is just like we are in Tomahawk. Barcelona is a huge city, but it is compact at the same time. The city is in between the mountains and the sea, so it has to be condensed. I like this because all the action is put together. Katie and I are even considering moving here after college. Don’t worry mom. We are just thinking about it.
