Back Again

Well we got safely back from our trip late Tuesday night. I didn't have any internet from the time we left Spain till we got back. Sooooo, if you don't mind I'll just pick up from were I left off :) Also, scroll down to the last posts about Spain. I updated with pictures.


Friday Sept 14-
With our last day in Spain we decided to see the popular spots. A quick metro ride brought us to the Arc de Triomph. Because it was so early in the morning [around 9ish] hardly anyone was there. A nearby school was on recess and we saw the children outside playing. 





We left and headed to the famous Guadi building 'Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia'. After walking around it we went back to the port.


Because the metro stops at 2 on Fridays we caught one of the last one’s back up from the port to la Rambla. Getting hungry we went to La Bulgaria for some fresh tasties. 


We found a container of 9 fresh figs for 1.5 euro! Some grapes and a warm calazone filled with tomato and cheese also caught our eye.  We also purchased 2 cups of the popular fresh squeezed juices one raspberry and the other coconut/pomegranate. We found a bench outside of the market and ate our delicious spread.  


We meandered our way back up to the Somnio and got ready for our flight. We had a fitful sleep as it was a Friday night. Everyone it seemed was out on the street talking loudly. It really got cranked up around 3ish when all the bars closed down. There was a group of people right below us that had taken a liking to the street and had sat down talking and laughing. Being as we couldn’t sleep we watched them from our window. People would walk by and then come back to join the group of merry drunks.

Wow, it looks like such an amazing time! I hope you and Sarah had an unforgettable time. But judging from your photos, I'm pretty sure you did. ;) Your apartment looks so delightful! Makes me want to dive into Europe soon. Someday. :)
