La Sagrada Familia
ok... I cheated... and I haven´t even been there yet! :S After a four-day cram session at the hostel to try and learn Español, I now find myself drifting aimlessly once again through the home of el Flamenco, el Picasso and...er los Edificios Bonitos...
(Sí, that´s right- "Estoy no hablo muy bien Español!")
Anyway, I´m staying at a sufficiently cramped hostel in the centre of Barcelona for a couple of days before trying to make my way down to Granada (by what means, I don´t know!). This morning was spent in the Picasso museum which, albeit awe-inpiring (and art-inspiring!) didn´t have any of his famous works in it... which was a bit of a let down. I spose they´re all in the Louvre or something...
It´s not cold here, (in fact, compared to Scotland it´s bloody warm at a balmy 14 degrees!) but unlike sunny Edinburgh, it has been drizzling rain all morning which has limited my wanderings a bit. I´m going to check out the weather report in a minute to see if it will be OK for me to begin trekking down south if need be. Should´ve brought my umbrella!
I´ve tried excercising my limited range of Spanish vocab to some of the locals, but whenever I do, they reply in perfect English! Apparently that´s not the case out of Barcelona, though... I´m preparing myself for some serious confusion...
In Granada they have caves. I want to go live in one.
Bye.

Ma: My phone doesn´t work in Spain, so don´t fret if you find that I´m uncontactable. By the way, what did you do when you went to Barcelona?
Pa: When you send the Promite, can you send me some Milo for christmas as well? 😊
Bronny, Tegan and my friends in Freo-ish places: What are all your addresses now?? The hats sound awesome, but I can´t see myself having a stable address any time soon... plus I have been crocheting hats up the wazoo, so I probably have a sufficient supply at the mo! :P
T, good luck with the band!
Mi Amigos de Castle Rock: miss you lot already! see y´all soon!
