Barcelona rocks! Let's see, not even sure if I can remember everything I've done here. I started out yesterday, and walked down La Rambla (which is a wide, pedestrian avenue with tons of crazy shops and crazier street performers and cafes and such) which is where my hostel is, and went to the main market here. At first I was really impressed with all the colors and fruits and flowers and whatnot, but then stumbled into some meat shops where the animals were entirely too recognizable as animals to me (we're talking heads that still had teeth and eyeballs and everything!), so I ended up leaving that market without getting anything. Then I walked over to the Barcelona cathedral, and walked around that and a bunch of the buildings in the old part of town. After that, I walked down to the beach, and lay tehre for a couple hours. This is definitely my favorite beach I've been to! Then I took this cable car thing which runs from the beach to a mountain in the sky across the whole city. I climbed around the mountain to a million different sites. Walking between each place it was just beautiful gardens and flowers everywhere, and there were about a million beautiful panoramas of the entire city from up there. I went to the Miró´museum, which was far and away my favorite museum I've been to this whole time! I've always liked Miró a lot, but especially after all the dark regligious art of Rome, I like him even more! And they also had this fantastic temporary exhibit there, about this guy who did crazy art with pianos. Like he had made an entire piano out of plastic oranges, an upright piano with a boat propellor going through it, a remote controlled piano player, a piano with different porno images on each key, giant spongy busts of bach that swung from the ceilings, just crazy stuff like that which was all really cool. Then I walked further up the mountain to the old olympic stadium and botanical gardens. Then I went to this awesome place called Pueble Español, which was set up for a science/technology exhibit similar to the world's fair a long time ago, but then people decided it was too cool to tear down after the fair. They basically made a little village, that has exact replicas of buildings from every part of Spain at the time. And there were tons of cute restuarants and shops and crafts and stuff like that. I feel like I got to see all of Spain just in Barcelona! After that, I took a long walk back to La Rambla, stopping to watch some of the super crazy street perfermers again. Then I went out to a late dinner with a scottish couple from my hostel, and we all got paella for the first time which was delicious! This morning I woke up early and went to the beach for a couple hours again, and now I'm back in the afternoon because my hostel has a laundry room, and all my clothes are pretty nasty right about now, but you can't use them after 9, so looks like it's time for an afternoon siesta while I do laundry!
