You take photo of me, I take photo of you? Part 2

Not sure why this site isn´t accepting my additions to the last blog - so here is the new stuff again just in case:



Last thing I did was go watch the Magic Fountain (the fountain does a pretty awesome music and light show) and do a last wander around the Plaça Espanya area. What a great way to end my stay here!

I feel like I´m forgetting a lot but you really have to see the city for yourselves if I´ve piqued your interest at all. Got to make sure I´m up early for my flight to Warsaw tomorrow. I´ve never been to Poland before. Very excited to see a new country and see Luiza and Bartek!

Things I like about Barcelona:
- zillions of opportunities for photographs
- the architecture
- street art
- siesta time (if you want to take a nap at that time)
- narrow pedestrian streets in the Gothic quarter
- shopping everywhere
- turning a corner and always finding something new
- street performers (but not the ones on La Rambla)
- tapas
- subway system is great and trains run every 4-5 minutes

Things I forgot I didn´t like about Barcelona:
- gross smells wafting through the streets
- frizzy hair
- getting asked for money
- no real breakfasts
- keeping a vice grip on my purse at all times (pick pockets)
- siesta time (if you feel like going shopping at that time)

Things I just plain forgot and other random things:
- how much olive oil is used in the foods
- how much walking you do (even within the subway system)
- how good the breads are here though the rest of the food isn´t great
- people smoking everywhere (even in the subway)
- there used to be internet cafes everywhere but this time I only saw 1 - though I wasn´t really looking for them
- less crime on La Rambla than there used to be - didn´t see any gypsies but saw lots of cops so perhaps they´re cracking down
- Spanish time is flexible
