Barcelona sin espanol

You heard right. Those tricky barcelonians are not into Spanish at all. They speak Catalan which was best described to me as a language between languages. It may sound a bit like spanish but trust me, it is not.

We only spent a few days here but it was a great city. As usual, one must be careful of crazy drivers but the streets are wide and spacious or close and cramped. Shopping is a hard core sport right up there with "Futbol" aka Soccer and Rugby. We checked out the La Ramba for most of the day. It is a long street where you can get a true taste of Barcelona life.

We saw street performers up to whazoo and they sell everything there. A baby duck costs 6 euros. I almost bought one but I thought that I might have a hard time getting it on a plane. They also sold squirrles!!

Later on we check out some more art at the Picasso Museum. He was actually normal at some point. Who knew?

We stayed at some dorms that were being rented out over the summer and let me tell you they were WAY better than OSU. Only in our neighborhod though could you see hookers working the conners and getting picked up as well as a birgade of 14 years olds asking everybody in sight for cigarettes. I assume that they will have no problem though because the 15 year old French girls we met in Valencia chain smoked like no other and they managed to gfet those cigarettes from someswhere.

Best news of all... We didn't get pickpocketed on the metro like everyone said we would (we must have looked too poor, haha).
