The flight here was probably one of the worst I have ever been on First off it just takes forever to board people on the plane... the take off and most of the flight was smooth but there was a very loud and very annoying group of people maybe 5 rows behind us that would not shut up. They were yelling and laughing an http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/District-of-Madrid/Madrid/blog-412562.html Hello all this is morgan I havent written in a few days we have been very busy well on the 23rd we went to the beach which was really nice. We took the metro down to the beach and then sunbathed for a while. It was pretty crowded where we hung out but not too bad. The water was pretty cold so we did not go in farther than kneedeep. We were there for a couple hours and then took the metro http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Catalonia/Barcelona/blog-412300.html This is Meredith posting a small blog mainly because it is impossible to fall asleep. Out side of our hotel window there are people littlerally shooting off what must be hundreds of fireworks. I have no idea why they are doing this in the first place but it is one of the most irritating things in the world. I dont know if i should shout at them because i doubt they even speak english.

Then we hung out for a little bit then took the Metro to another museum El Museo Reina Sofia which was a lot of fun.
