Barcelona

Hello!

We have been in Barcelona since Monday morning... we are about to leave to go to Italy. I´m sitting in the ferry port, watching the bags while Brooke and Whitney are looking at art/postcards in the market on the street. The ferry we are going to go on is HUGE - looks like a cruise ship (with a pool).

But... Barcelona was AMAZING!! Everyone is so laid back and chill here, it´s the perfect beach town.

Day 1: We took an overnight train from paris to Barcelona. There were six of us in the sleeper room... it was tiny! One of the guys was from Dallas and the other was from Australia - with a great accent. In Barcelona, we checked in and then walked up and down Las Ramblas (the main street) before eating dinner and drinking sangria. Then that night we went on a pub crawl... it was really fun! We met a lot of people and got to go dancing :)

Day 2: We woke up and went to the beach. It is sooo pretty here. But people don´t go to the beach until like 4 or 5 in the afternoon... so we ended up staying until 8pm. We drank sangria on the beach and relaxed- it was a perfect day. But we wanted to go dancing again, so we went on another pub crawl... we didn´t meet as many people, but it was still really great! We ended the night at a club that played local music - it was like techno/pop and really fun!!!

Day 3: Checked out of our hotel and I got the times for the ferry wrong, so we got here like 2 hours early. So they are shopping, while I watch the bags. That´s what I get for reading the times wrong :)

We will be in Monterosso tomorrow, probably midday... not sure if we will have internet at our hotel there, but we will try to find it.

Miss everyone!
