Socks

---

Well today was the most boring day I have had in awhile. We went to Punto Blanco, a fashion design company in Barcelona, which sounded awesome. Once we got there, however, we found out that all they make is socks, and we were heading to the factory to watch socks being made. It was extremely interesting, for about 10 minutes of the 5 hours we were there. It was cool watching the socks get made, but then we had a 2 hour lecture in a small hot room with 32 people in it about how they are a failing company, and need to figure something out in the next few years. They are a company that survives on socks alone, which they charge 10E a pair for... and he is wondering why they are struggling in a downward economy? He is made all sorts of excuses of why he thinks he is failing. Call me close minded, but I'm pretty sure I have the answer. Buddy, you can't make only socks and sell them for $12 a pair and actually expect anyone to buy them... they are socks...

Anyways, after that we took the hour long bus ride back to the hotel, then just went to bed for the siesta. Today wasn't that exciting, but I believe we are trying to go out tonight, so hopefully that will be fun!

Until next time

You have certainly adapted well to the siesta custom in Barcelona!
