Today we walked down to a little coffee shop to have breakfast. We had pastries & coffee. We then walked through La Ramblas. It is the tourist area of Barcelona with lots of souvenir stalls & street performers. We stopped in one of the food markets & it was amazing.

It was pouring with rain so we just went back to meet Emma and Tony. We all went out for breakfast and then headed to the Van Gough Museum. It was really good. It had some of his famous p...
