Hola chicas y chicos! I´m back from Barcelona safe and sound! Had a great weekend with Lauren, Lindsay, y Katie. Here are a few highlights...
Lauren R´s favorite part of the trip was how the street lights (luz) were timed so that when driving down the roads, all the lights were either all green or red. It was perfect for all the taxi riding we did from our hotel on the beach to the city center and out to dinner and clubs.
Saturday night was a little weird. After our delicious dinner (I had veggie pizza and ravioli with Lauren haha), the four of us tried to find a different part of the city to go out to for the night. We walked around forever, going into bars and clubs but not finding anything to our liking. We literally spent most of the night walking around. I had one drink the whole night and was super tired. Finally, we just went back to the Olympic port 5 mins from our hotel to go out. We had gone there Friday night and had fun. The olympic port was also a bit of a bust. While walking along the strip of bars, Lindsay and I saw this puddle of red liquid... it was a pretty big puddle. I joked around and said OMG look at all the blood (sangra)!! Then, all of a sudden, a guy being escourtned by police, was holding up a tshirt or something to his head. He had blood all over him and was bleeding from his temple area. I tried to walk past him without touching him, but the street was so crowded I got a smudge of his blood on my forearm! Luckily, Katie had purell and tissues, so I was all set, but definitely freaked out.
To end this blog on a good note...haha
Friday night, we went out to dinner around the Olympic Port area. We got delicious seafood paella and sangria. We were enjoying our dinner, while the people sitting near us kept staring at us Americanos. There was more cat calling than normal, and older men tried to buy us drinks, but we politely declined. At the end of meal, the 4 of us were paying for the bill, when the owner of the restaurant comes up to our table. He spoke English. He wrote cancel on the bill and had the waitor bring us over a shot. We accepted, not wanting to be rude. And then politely declinded his offer to go out to his fiesta in his limo with him for his bday.
Overall, Barcelona was quite an experience. Much more to say, but for now it´s time for lunch and seista.
Ciao
