Day 8 - The City

Well, as you can tell by my lack of posts for the past week, things have been kind of crazy. I have spent almost every waking moment either exploring a new part of the city, or spending time with my great roommate, Kyle, and two good friends, Shaina and Libby.


Since, I am trying to prepare for my day trip to Sitges, a beach area just outside the city, I give you a short list of the things I have done in the past week:

• Explored the Beachfront area... probably about 3 times.
• Thoroughly explored la Boqueria, the oldest and largest market in Barcelona.
• Explored el Gòtic, Barcelona's Gothic district.
• Took a 6 mile run through the Roman sector, the Gòtic district, and the Beachfront.
• Explored Las Ramblas, a touristy, but awestrikingly beautiful area of Barcelona.
• Saw the 4 Cats, a regular hangout of Picasso.
• Took part in the celebration after Barça won the Copa del Rey (It was CRAZY).

I apologize for the randomness in this post. Please enjoy the pictures for the past few days. Since I didn't have my camera during the Barça riots, I don't have any pictures, but I have posted a picture of my friend, Shaina, at the riots instead.

The beach! (It was a nude beach, and took me
forever to find a picture without indecencies)

in Barcelona!
