Hanging out in Spain?

2004-09-26 | Barcelona, Spain

Well I just submitted a story and then I tried to look at a picture as well and it refreshed the page, I will try to repeat all of what I said. Stupid computers!!

Anyways the flight into Barcelona went off without a hitch. I spent 16 pounds on a train ticket to the airport. But come to find out they shut down the trains, so I overpaid about 10 pounds and had to take the bus. The plane ride was great through. I picked up a Barcelona map at the airport.

Once I got there I bought a bus ride into the city again because Ryan air has to fly into smaller airports. When I was putting my backpack on the bus the stupid ticket flew out of my mouth a good ways and luckily I recovered it.

On the bus I met two great guys that I have been hanging out with ever since. John and I have dedicated many days of traveling together and we seem to be enjoying each others company.

We got into the city and there was this huge festival called Merc? There wasn't anything particularly unbelievable about the festival (except the fireworks). Just envision a Spanish festival that you don't really understand. All the life in the city was very cool.

About 4 people followed my lead because I had the best map you could possibly buy.

I got to the hostel which John had booked and luckily I got the last bed!! I love doing everything at the seat of my pants. Sometime it will come back to haunt me, but that will be an experience.

Mostly we just wandered about the pissy city. Yes... unfortunately the smell of urine lurks some of the pedestrian ways. It lingers mostly because people in Spain drink a lot and there aren't a lot of public facilities, also it doesn't rain a lot and there aren't many drains. Oh well.

Other things that I have been careful about around here are pickpickets and the water. But those don't discourage me. This town rocks!
