Another great day walking the streets, eating and drinking, the goal was to go to Carrer de Bhai were the street is full of Pintxos bars. Could so get use to this life. The first stop was a coffee at El Nacional which is an old carpark building that has been converted to a wonderful area with bars and restaurants. This building also has the best toilets in Barcelona that everyone goes and photographs (so we did also). Finally, after a number of covert diversion by Senor Alberto (Alan), we finally got to the first Pintxos. We all selected a couple of pintxos and together with our beer had the first course.

Today we headed to Pineda de Mar for lunch and to pick up Rose’s cousin Alan who is hosting us for our time in Barcelona.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was just lounging around and not doing much and forgot to post. So lets start this post with what happened 2 days ago. We lounged around in the morning, I read my book, my mom did yoga, and not much happened. Around 6:00 pm, my mom and I went down to the beach and swam. Then around 9:00 pm, my mom, Teja, and I got in Shawn's car and drove to Sant Pere de Ribes, a small and beautiful town 10 minutes from Sitges. This is the same town I had the 'fiesta de espuma' in. We drove to the house of Mercé and Peter and their kids, Zoe, Leo, and Kay. My mom, Teja, Mercé, and Peter went out for 'tapas'; traditional spanish meals. Zoe, Leo, Kay, and I ... read more
