Long live king mullet!!! MULLETS in all shapes and sizes...Who said

Ok. So I HATED Barcelona at first, but it grew on me like a stain
that spreads. We arrived here from Paris last night about 1.30am
and i was not impressed at all. I'd never been here before, never
seen pictures, but somehow had this idea of what it would be all
about...I was way wrong. We got on the filthy subway and were surrounded
by the shouts of drunk Barcelonian youths. *Mullets in tow* Then
we reached our stop and walked down Las Ramblas towards our hostel.
I guess it was some kind of festival which made the streets even
MORE packed but it was basically ALOT of drunk kids. I'm not saying
I'm old or anything like that, but in my 26yrs. on earth I've never
felt the need to party at the expense of annoying everyone around
me. So Michal and I are EXHAUSTED and lay down...It's about 2.30am
now and the noise from the street is so LOUd that even the ear plugs
don't help. The drunk Americans come in all night long, being loud
and turning the lights on...some girl comes in {i guess her purse
was stolen} and was telling her friends about how angry her mom
was gonna be. Some other kid brought home a girl and was trying
to hook up with her but she said she was feeling ill and had an
"infection". Lots of entertainment, huh? I'm too old for
this childish crap, but need to toughen up for the hardships of
India. {I'll have my OWN room though}
8.30am rolls around and Michal is up. I sleep till 10am and then
we run out the door; stop 1 La Sangra Familia. This is a cathedral
Gaudi designed and is still unfinished. Later in the day we met
an American couple and the gentleman proceeded to tell me how Gaudi
modeled a lot of his Architecture designs from fruit and vegetable
shapes. I kept this in mind and had a plan; today would be di'a
de Gaudi. I circled all the Gaudi related sites on the map and we
started out. As the day wore on my mood got better and better. {I
guess I'm like the weather; if I don't like how I feel just wait
5 min and it'll change.} We walked around the park Guell that gaudi
designed and all of a sudden i realized that everything is really
great!. {i'll send Gaudi pics later} After the park we checked out
a house that he designed and a University too, but couldn't get
close enough to take pics of it. We also saw wild Quacker Parekeets
in the trees. {I guess they're native birds?} Since the money is
tight till S.E. Asia I followed my lunch of Falafel by eating Shwarma
for dinner. The cheapest food here is unfortunately NOT tapas and
gelato. Mañana we take an AM train to Nice to soak up the
sun, and confuse my poor French and Spanish all over again!. |
