officially in paris now so i will catch you up on the last few days we spent in barcelona...
6/9 it was the warmest day we had there out of the whold time so i took the opportunity and we spent the day around port vella and barceloneta beach. we were planning on starting off at the aquarium but somehow ended up walking straight past it and ended up at the mall which is nothing new to me lol ended up getting a shirt and then stopped at starbucks which was the worst frappacino EVER. then made our way to this super cute little hole in the wall burrito place called itlzi or something like that but the minute we walked in the door lindsey didn't feel so welll and ended up puking all over the street outside.... super mood killer but i still went inside and ate my burrito. at the time it was super annoying but everyone has their moments and she not used to walking so much so i just got over it. we needed to chill for a while after the puke fest so we went to the beach ... lindsey had her first experience with the sea... or as she put it first encounter with coastal waters. she freaked out when the waves hit her feeet lol. after that we officially got lost and walked all the way to the end of one pier before we figured out we were going the wrong way so being the lazy americans that we are we decided we were done walking and flagged down one of the young guys that do bike taxis lol finally reaching the aquairium . it was kind of expensive but i know it was one of the things that lindsey wanted to do the most ... no surprise there were lots of fish... most i have seen before when snorkeling but o well. the glass tunnel under the aquarium was pretty sweet and i got to see a guitar fish which i have personally never heard of before... reminded me of cody or at least the old cody. ANYWAYs i think the defining moment was at the end of the tour and there was this little 'explore area' for kids and lindsey ABSOLUTELY FREAKS OUT to get her picture taken by this big plastic frog. i couldn't believe it and then she crawls into this tub thing and some guy snapped a picture of her.. i guess i not the only one who thought it was silly/ funny. we headed home and got all dressed up because we thought we were gonna go to a flamenco show but by the time we got to the plaza it was ten minutes till the last show and we hadn't ate yet ... so food won . we tried to be authentic by getting paella for dinner ( even thou lindseys looked like mac n cheese with hotdog slices lol) i took a chance and got one with prawns, squid, and mussels and it turned out pretty good even thou it wasn't the favor punch i was expecting.
6/10 the day of architecture. we got our first metro experience while making our way out to sacrada familia on a very rainy day... i told someone to bring an umbrella and she forgot it hahaha . the sagrada familia was more amazing than i could ever put into words but i will try for my favorite parts. the entire church is covered in figures and scenes and decorations. the inside is amazing what guadi did is beyond words yet again. the whole thing including its support system was inspired by nature and its genius. the pictures say alot. it was really to learn that every thing on the inside and outside had a purpose. and the gaudi mesuem in the basement was fascinating. when we were leaving it was pouring. i thought i had a restuarant picked out for us but it was actually a hotel . didn't notice it was a red number instead of a blue number ... damn color coating but it all turned out ok cuz we ended up just getting out of the rain to eat at this irish pub and they had homemade everything so i got guiness /steak pie and hand mashed potatoes and steamed veges . it was perfect for the cold rainy day a long with a hieneken draft pint yyyyyuuuuummmm afterwards i just wanted to take a nap in the booth. we went on a walking tour around town to check out all of the cool architecture.... but i have to get up in four hours for school so i will catch u up on the rest tomorrow.
