We just finished our second day in Barcelona. It was actually our first full day here. We started with a great breakfast at our “very awesome” Hotel. After that we started sightseeing. We went to several plazas and churches. At the big cathedral we were turned down because they had a specific clothing requirment that Corey’s tank top and very short shorts didn’t meet. We decided that we are going to come back properly clothed tomorrow so we can go inside. After that we went to the Picasso Museum, however we didn’t know that it is closed on Mondays. So we decided we would walk down the street to the arc de triomf. This of course didn’t take very long so we went next door to the Zoo. This zoo was actually amazing because they had a very wide selection of animals and also because they didn’t really cage a lot of them in. I am of course only speaking of the ones that aren’t very dangerous. The Zoo was so much fun that we didn’t even realize how fast the time went past. After the Zoo we went for a nice walk at the “La Barceloneta” which is the harbor area. We ended up eating a big grilled seafood platter at one of the restaurants in the harbor. This basically finishes up the day because we finally are in tune with Spain and their eating habits (I mean the whole lunch at 2 and dinner starting at 8). Tomorrow we are planning on going to the Cathedral again to actually see the inside, the Picasso Museum and the Sagrada Familia. So another very busy day but all together a very good finish for Barcelona.

At least it was warm enough to wear a tank top and shorts
Actually Spain is very very catholic…
Sounds like you are having fun in Barcelona! Enjoy spanish Tapas and hopefully their good red wine!

Yeah the prolem is that all our pictures are on the camera but we don’t have a computer or USB cable at the moment to upload any images to the blog. As soon as we use your laptop with your USB cable we can upload some images. However the problem might be that we first have to filter through alot of images we are ending day 7 and we have a total of 1341 pictures plus about 170 minutes of video. I know crazy right!!! But we will upload a few!
Just wanted to say hi. Glad you are having fun.
