Hello, I am exhausted. This time, its not from traveling different locations, but instead from partying. Back home, lets say we plan on going out to the bars. This is how it typically goes: start drinking around 8-9pm at the house, get to the bar around 11pm and be done by 2am. Here in Barcelona, it goes somewhat like this: go out for dinner around 9pm, eat and drink until 11pm, go to a bar around 12am, drink there until 2-3am, then go out to the club. I don´t think my body is conditioned for this type of partying yet!
As you already know, I am in Barcelona. I flew in from London on Sunday morning (which by the way was a horrible experience of staying up all night in order to make sure I wouldn´t miss my flight). Flying to Barcelona and arriving was excellent; weather was nice, no delays, Med Sea views, and the whole nine. Once into Barcelona though, I felt foreign for the first time on my travels. I got out of the airport expecting signs, etc. to be in English, or have an English translation, but NOPE. I had to decipher the language (which turns out isn´t really even Spanish because Barcelona is different) , find a random bus praying it would take me to Placa de Catalunya, and just go with it. Luckily I ran into a guy and started chatting: turns out he is staying at the EXACT hostel I am!
I´ve explored Barcelona for the past few days and will be spending 2 more nights here before I venture into Nice, France. I hear that is a gorgeous beach town, and I´m looking forward to a few days where I don´t do anything. I think I have a stupid blister on my toe, and walking has become less fun and more of a chore after arriving to Barcelona.
Otherwise, all else is great! I have officially spent one week away from home, so that means I´m 1/11th of the way through my trip!
If/When I figure out how to get my pictures from my camera onto a computer, I will start posting some pictures, but in the mean time, just close your eyes and imagine you know what I´m talking about (thats for you Ashley the complainer).
