Barcelona sucks
The beach was ok actually. The weather did turn around, and it's sunny now. The historic gothic quarter has some cool history and an interesting grid of narrow lanes. Also, there was an eccentric architect, Antoni GaudÃ, that built these weird structures here around the turn of the century, including Park Guell. It's a little fantasy land where all the buildings look like fluffy cupcakes. A group of us from the hostel had an epic picnic there. We spread out all our food in the middle, and it looked like a feast for an army! I wish I could show you pictures, but sadly you will be without for a while. And I lost most of the pictures I've taken so far. I got jumped on the way back from a club last night, and they took my wallet and camera and left a few bruises. That was fun. At least they didn't find my passport. My wallet had only 10€ and no credit or atm cards. I love my money belt right now; it kept everything safe. I think I'm not going out tonight.

F'n maxey! Getting mugged!
ReplyDeleteHoly god?! You got jumped! Thank God you're ok!
ReplyDeleteGaudi always reminds me of Dr. Seuss in Candyland... Have you been to Sagrada Familia yet? I've heard that it won't be completed until 2026. Gaudi died in 1926!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Barcelona sucks. I'm sorry you're battered and bruised and without photos.
