Barcelona Rocks
Ok — someone told me that Barcelona was like Tacoma — they were so nuts, it’s not even funny.
Barcelona is not only beautiful, it’s fun — and yes, while we’re staying in a swanked out super hotel — I think we’d be having a pretty good time anyway, since the city is so nice. We’ll have to come back some other time and really enjoy it for what it is — a great city. Come here now!
Tomorrow, we travel to Madrid, where we stay for the remainder of our trip and then fly home. I’m still dreading the flight because we don’t have upgrades on our seats or anything — but who knows, maybe something good will happen anyway.
I got a good workout in today, which made me pretty happy — it was tough to get to the gym in most of the other places — but here in the heart of civilization they actually have health clubs with weights and everything (the last place had some sort of physical therapy chairs that didn’t have any resistance — it was sad and weird.
We went to the Picasso museum, which made me feel like a huge slacker — but maybe it’ll get me off my duff and start writing again… or ever
Once we get to Madrid and I get a few days rest, I’ll do a big photo-spread in the blog so you can see everything. This is a small post because it’s late, and I want to get up tomorrow and go to the gym and then (woohoo) drive for 6 hours to Madrid.
Life is good again. Had a little trouble finding a decent dinner, but came back to the hotel and had a grandiose room service complete with ridiculous things like caviar and foie gras — yes — that’s insane, I know — but well … it was a fun recovery.
Happy Fourth of July from out here in the rest of the world!
