The curse of Valencia continued after my last entry. Somehow, we made it out alive. When we went through security at the train station, they pulled us aside and told us we didn't have the right tickets. So this guy ran us over to a different room and they made us pay to reserve a spot on the train, even though it was already in the station, with plenty of open seats. So we paid the 6 euros to reserve it, then ran back to the train as it was pulling out. We bo...

I'm sitting outside the train station, perched on the large cement base of a lamp post. I'm starting to get annoyed with the men of Spain. Two women with blond hair and light skin seem to somewhat of an oddity around here, and the men have no problem expressing this fact. Everyone stares at us. Some call us "Barbie dolls." Others call out things in Spanish that Becky has too much class to translate. My frustration may also because of all the ...

Last night was so crazy and so fun.

Kind of a jock with a sensitive side. All around nice guy. He's suppose...

Today was pretty overcast, and Becky couldn't get a hold of Mauode, so we told him to meet us at Zurich Cafe and then we went to the Picasso Museum. It was cool, but didn't have a lot of his later works, so I was a little disappointed about that. We ate at this little...

Barcelona has such amazing architecture! It's such a cool place! And it's actually not too hard to get around. Compared to London, this place is a breeze. We walked around and saw the street performers on Las Ramblas, the Mirador Colum, Rambla de Mar, Parc de Cascada and we even saw a duck fight. Haha, that was pretty entertaining. The funny thing about the Mirador Colum is that it is supposed to have been built to place some claim on helping Christopher Columb...
