Daddy claims that he hadn't been as scared as he was a few mins before this pic was taken, since the Hawaii incident when I was little. Trying to calm him down, make amends.
We started our journey at 7AM(US, central), connecting from OKC to Chicago to Philly and finally to Barcelona. I slept 20 or so minutes on the flight to Chicago, most of the flight to Philly, and the entire flight to Barcelona minus the time we ate and movie. Apparently I'm the only one that got much sleep so every one else was dog tired and I was pretty much well-rested. The airplane was awesome, it was equipped with several movies (for the longest time you just had to watch what was planned), full-legnth CDs, 12+ TV shows (MASH, Frasier, Sex in the City etc), and radio stations to stop and watch when you wanted. It also had games, some of which you could play against the other folks on the plane!!



Of course the first picture we took had to be of a cat. We dropped off our bags and then took the red route of the tour route in Barcelona. It lasted for a couple of hours and by the time we made it back to the hotel it was after 1PM(7AM, central). Stephanie and I stopped at a shop to get some food, it ended up

being pretty good even though she couldn't figure out what sort of meat her hamburger was made out of. Daddy really liked the wrap I got him from the shop, have no idea what it was except that it was spicy chicken and had onions in it and was called "Druum" something. We agreed to meet back up at 5pm but only Daddy and I was still awake and he hadn't slept yet. We didn't do anything 'til 10P (4PM, central) and we went to the famous church of Spain. Afterwards we went to Burgerking, which was a lot better than Burgerking at home. I got the 'snackbox' which had: onion rings, chicken fries, cheese sticks, chicken fingers, and a drink. Stephanie got some chicken sandwich we don't have at home that ended up being as big as her face. We had to rush to the subway which closes at midnight. Everyone passed out on me in less than an hour and now there's no English-shows on TV.



Tomorrow (or later this am I should say) we plan to go to the Picasso musem and walking tour, see the Torre Agbar, and possibly take a cable car off of Montjuic. As I finish writing this, it is 2:06AM in Barcelona which makes it 8:06PM at home (central time).
