We made it!

Cool statue in Barcelona!
My favorite building we saw today!
Although we didn't try them they sure did look yummy!

Old church

Hola all the way from Barcelona, Spain! After many many hours of traveling we finally arrived in Barcelona around 8:00 o'clock this morning, which would have been !:00 in the morning for many of you all. As many of you can imagine we were pretty sleepy because of the minimal sleep we got on the plane and I would be lying if I didn't say jet lag got the best of me, I was a tad bit grumpy to say the least. After meeting up with Katie we were all set to head out into the city, except for one thing, we couldn't find our car rental place for the life of us. They were supposed to be next to a Cafe called "Cafe de firro." We looked everywhere around Cafe de Firro and well long story short no one ever told us the there was another Cafe de Firro located at the other end of the terminal! After searching for 30 minutes we finally stumbled upon it. When arrived at our apartment we stuck our luggage into some lockers, because we couldn't get into our apartment until 3, and went to find lunch. Along the way we ran into a motorcycle rally. Hundreds of motorcycles were racing through the streets. The people riding them were having the time of their life cheering, snapping pictures and yelling. It was very fun to watch!

At lunch we all order the "Menu Americano," which included eggs, french fries, and bacon, orange juice and coffee. I didn't like the coffee at first but two sugar packets later it tested a whole lot better. After brunch we rode the metro to the Pablo Picasso Museum, I must add if Katie wasn't there it would have taken us forever to figure out how to get to the right place. It just so happens that the first sunday of the month the museum is free so after passing by the VERY long line we decided to come back another day. Instead we roamed around exploring the streets, old churches and Pastry shops (see pictures above). After a well deserve nap we picked a random place for dinner and ordered some tapas. My favorite is the Patatas Bravas. We got some gelato on the way home and now are heading to bed because tomorrow we must be up early to go see the Sagrada Familia (look it up on Google). Goodnight!
