España

Hello everyone,

It is soooo easy to use an ñ in this country! Currently I am writing from Madrid, we have a four-hour lay over and decided to use an internet cafe. We´d like to explore the city but are weary about missing our train.

Barcelona was a fun town. Before Nicole came, Heather and I visited the Picasso Museum which was fun but had a hoorible layout, and we also shopped quite a bit in the barrios.

Once Nicole arrived, we started doing the bigger things...we did our own Gaudi walking tour in which we saw 3 buildings (including the construction of a Cathedral that has been in production since 1882 and is supposed to be finished either in 2080 or 2035ish). It was amazing, I hope it is finished in my life time so I can see it completed some day. I am now a true Gaudi fan! We also visited the Gaudi Park (Parc Guell) which was gorgous, although we visited while it was raining and
got soaking wet. We also spent quite a bit of time on Las Ramblas, it is a street brimming with life that has some shops but is mostly full of performers and restaurantes. We really enjoyed our time in Barcelona.

As mentioned before, we are only stopping in Madrid for a layover. Since our experiences in large cites overall haven´t been as good as in the smaller places, we´ve decided to spent two nights in Granada and two nights in Sevilla. From there we will fly to Italy, spend 1 night in Padua, then head to vencie. And that´s about all I have to spit at you for now. Cheers!

PS Today I had a nun cut in front of me in the bathroom line; I find this very funny!
