...And this was only a few hours upon arriving in Barcelona! It is taking forever to upload photos and so I must leave the rest of day one to another time. First off, I have to give Amy, my travel partner and friend in crime, the award of awesomeness for keeping up with my energizer bunny style of traveling. She had just arrived in Paris the day before and the very next day we woke up bright and early to catch a flight to Barcelona and we didn't stop for a break until dinner that night. I remember thinking how worn out I was, I can only imagine being jet lagged as well. Some of the highlights from these pictures were, actually, everything. One of my favorite things to do in any city is to get a birds eye view and we were so lucky to stumble upon the perfect place to do so at the Columbus Monument and for only 4 euros. I love being able to see what a city looks like for miles on end (or kilometres on end). And the views were spectacular seeing as how we were on the marina and beach and there were mountains in the distance and a great city beneath us. It was so nice to be able to sit next to the water and feel at peace as well. After living in Paris for a while now I totally appreciate the quieter and more peaceful places in the world on occasion, not that I don't come from an equally busy city myself. Barcelona reminded me a lot of Italy in a lot of ways which was interesting as well. The weather was amazing the two days we were here, pretty darn warm. It would've been perfect for going to the beach had we had time to make it there. I know, really pathetic that we didn't make it to the beach when we were in Barcelona but that just means its another reason that I must return sooner rather than later. :-)
Things to look forward to in the next post of pictures is the most amazing market I've ever been to in my entire life.
Have a great rest of your day, moi
