Parc Guell and other bits

This was our last day, so we set off to do whatever we had missed. In the morning, we went to the Sant Pere area, and successfully got completely lost. this had the positive side effect that we saw a wonderful area we would have missed, and in particular, the church that gives the area it's...

mainly rain and Gaudi

It was a wet day, so we set off to do inside things. For some reason Wendy didn't take a coat, I don't know why. Anyway, we took the metro, and found the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's famous church which is still being built. It is quite as amazing as it's reputation, and pictures probably work...

Mainly Montjuic

We decided to spend the day on Montjuic, which is a hill overlooking the city. On the way we passed through the extremely touristy Las Ramblas. Just behind it is the Merkat de la Boqueria, which is well worth a visit: fantastic fresh food, fruit, meat, and seafood so fresh it's still moving in...

I come to Spain!

Nate (the big bro) left this morning at 4:15am, and I was so sad to see him go! He had a wonderful visit, I hope, and we both had a great time experiencing Barcelona together. He arrived Wednesday afternoon; I met him at Plaza Catalunya from the Aerobus. Right away we headed for Las Ramblas...

CATFACE knows barcelona.

What a blast having Catlan McCurdy, my best BTown friend and her 3 Irish companions in town to discover in Barcelona! I was able to play tourguide for the second weekend in a row as I showed them all the neat and fun things to do here. Catlan, Guiliana, Meredith, and Becky arrived from Paris...

Barcelona day 1

Going from the airport in Barcelona nto the centre by train was a bit unnerving at first, because it starts off really grotty: that area of the city is very new and industrial, and doesn't live up to the reputation the city has. Anyway, we eventually made the centre, and wandered around the...

Some updates...

Hola, Just having a lazy Sunday afternoon and thought I’d add some of the weeks events. Nothing exciting happened Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday after we returned from Dublin, just trying recoup from the weekends festivities. Thursday, I had a class fieldtrip for Contemporary Spain. We...

take the bad with the good...

so lets start with the bad news... Monday night I went out with my roommates to Ovella Negra (The Black Sheep), which is a cool tavern-like bar off Las Ramblas about a 15 minute walk from our flat. On the way home with Laurie, at about 2:30am, some little punk snuck up behind me and literally...
