Sorry guys, the hostel here is playing the entire Tom petty catalog so I'm a little jacked up on petty tunes. I never realized how he makes me think of America....
So I'm in Barcelona now! As i mentioned before, it took allll day to get here. We almost missed the last connection which, coincidentally, was the last train of the day to Barcelona. That would have been a fun night...but I got here in one piece, and I found my hostel pretty easily. Turns out it was in a residential area, like an apartment turned into a hostel. Not sketch at all haha...
I spent the first couple days just walking around and exploring, not necessarily going to any of the renowned buildings or museums or anything. I did go see the magic fountain, which is a really cool fountain that goes off synchronized with music every night. But of course the night that I decide to go it is also the opening of the European Olympic games. 3 hours later I finally got to see the fountain in action, and it's def cool.at the hostel, I met a columbian girl who lives In Normandy, France, and is open to let me stay in her spare bedroom for a month, maybe in November, which would be perfect. I can save some money and be in a place to learn French, which is def something i want to do if I have the opportunity! I'll update you on that when we get in touch again.
Today I woke up, grabbed a smoothie, and went down to the beach. I'm def burned, I just got so excited to be on the beach! I came back and had a nice siesta before showering and getting ready to go out. Tomorrow I'm going to the Picasso museum, which I've heard is really good!
I love how late everything starts here! The hostel that I'm staying at now (the apartment one was only the first 2 nights) has a different club each night that they offer free entry for, and everyone leaves the hostel together to go there. They LEAVE the hostel at 1:45am. Yeah. That is why these people need siestas! Tonight I'm going to the pub crawl, then tomorrow I'll probably go out to the club-of-the-night. I had such a relaxing vacation week in Nice, so I'm excited to go out like every night that I'm here!
I'll write again in a couple days after I've cultured myself a little, to even out my drinking stories. :)
I would love to hear about the museums and highlights of siteseeing. I wonder how the Picasso Museum there compares to the one in Paris. I loved that!
