July 1st: Day 29

Just went back to the beach for a little bit with our new Canadian friend. Then headed back to the hostel, grabbed a quick bite to eat, and back to the airport to head back to London. Got in around 4:30 AM, it was such a long travel day, we had delays in the airport, then had to take all theses buses and then walk back the last leg of the trip to the flat. When I get to the flat, all I want is my bed, and there is someone in it. Turns out it was Dave's brother, so it was okay.

Someone's in my bed.

June 30th: Day 28

Today was a total beach day. It was great. Swam in the Med. Sea. The sand was a bit dirty in a weird dusty way. And it took us forever to find a food store to get stuff to bring to the beach. Stumbled upon a nude beach which was really quite different. Women go topless more often on regular beachs than with a top. The beach was really relaxing though. Overall, I was surprised by the food there, but I am just so glad I was able to go to Spain. The original Aquarius was better than the orange.
Meet some pretty cool people-some not so cool. I wanted to kill these guys in the hostel. But it was a great trip. Oh, and "Mesahee?!?"

Haiku of the day:

Barcelona beach,
One crazy freakin night out
Damn Austrialian boy!

June 29th: Day 27

Went to Las Ramblas today for some open-air shopping. Mostly flowers and animals (chipmunks and pigeons for sale). The street performers were ridiculous. One guy was a question mark. Others were trees, cows. This one woman was a little person. And that was it, like she wanted money for just standing there being a little person in a yellow dress. That night we went to this Cuban nightclub with this really sweet French girl named Maria that we met the day before. Her roommate is a famous Cuban singer so we went to see her perform. It was such a great time.

June 28th: Day 26

Today we did all of the tourist type things. We went to La Casa Mila, La Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell. They were all so amazing. I really enjoyed Parc Guell a lot. We had to practically hike up a mountain to get there, but it was so worth it. We were there for a while. We went to the beach later on in the day and we met SANDRA OH!!!!!!! If you know me at all, you know that is huge. It was sooo cool, she was sooo nice too! And she had blue nail polish and purple streaks in her hair. She was really nice and so sweet. We meet some nice Norwegians that night on Las Ramblas.

Haiku of the Day:

Gracias Hodum.
Caminar una montana,
Muy buena dia

June 27th: Day 25

Up at 2 AM to go to Luton and head to Barcelona! We got to Spain around 11. I couldn't believe I was finally in Spain, I remembered all of Hodum's advice about where to go in the city and what to see. The first day was really tiring though so we sat in a park near our hostel for awhile, it was nice. I had Paella that night, it was good, weird with the whole fish in it though. We went to the bars that night at like 12 (on London time) and it was DEAD. They dont go out in Spain until 2AM, that took some time to get used to. And dinner isn't until 10 ot 11.

Haiku of the day:

A Barcelona
No tengo energia
Los discotecas.

June 26th: Day 24

I really enjoyed the letterpress workshop today. I have to do more experimentation in Raven next semester. It was a long day with that and Tom's talk on poster design. The Stanley Kubrick archive was cool, but I think I built it up in my head to be something different from what it was. All packed for Spain and so excited. I am glad we decided to take a taxi at 3:30 AM instead of waiting all night at the airport. Should go to bed!

Haiku of the day:

Very busy day,
Girls drive off a cliff. the end.
And Stanley Kubrick.

June 25th: Day 23

Weird day today. Thought it was going to be jammed packed and ended up just seeing a show at LCC (London College of Communication). The exhibition was okay. Cool ways of presenting work though. Glad it was a rainy, slow day though because I finally got to catch up on these blogs and such before Barcelona. I got an ace bandage for my ankle too which is good. Tonight is movie night and pizza and really excited for a low key night, haven't had one in awhile.

Also, I have organized all of my pictures down to the visit, but it takes forever to put one picture on this blog, and for some reason it wont let me upload that many, and considering I will be back in the US in two weeks from today, pictures will just have to wait! Sorry all, but it will be better when I can explain them anyway!
