Sorry Marcelo and Philip! I am bad at remembering names, let alone spelling them!
Yesterday we switched hotels, to a seedier one in the middle of the action. I love it. We walked Las Ramblas, the big street geared toward tourists in Barcelona. Saw the harbor, ate at a GREAT Brazilian place that Leo (the Brazilian we met in Madrid) suggested. Just like his grandma makes it apparently. I should meet his grandma. Then we went to the Olympic grounds which were amazing. To see an Olympic games is something I have on my to-do-before-I-die list. It keeps getting longer.
Then we went to a great fruit market, tucked away right by our hotel. Then to the Gothic quarter which is also by our hotel. The buildings were beautiful, but as always, Europe is under construction, so I had to peer around scaffolds and cranes.
After that we walked up the Ramblas to a flamenco show. It was vibrant and interesting. My whole trip I have noticed that Spain is a place of beauty and violence. The bull fight, the intensity of the flamenco dancers, and even the danger on the beautiful streets.
Last day in Spain, then a night train to Milano.

Hey Lizzy, its Katie. Just thought i would give you some Milan info. I don't have much to give, i only saw the train station because we were leaving from there to go home. Either way, don't get discouraged about Italy if you can't understand their English, or they don't speak english. The further south you go the more they speak English, and their accents are SO much easier to understand. Most of them know like 5 languages, its insane to me. I'm so jealous. Keep having fun kiddo.
ReplyDeleteWhen in Roma I have some advice about somewhere to eat, if you care for it.
Hey that is okay, just trying to help you get accurate accounts of your journeys.
ReplyDeleteBy the way nice "About Me" section, hahaha.
Glad you enjoyed it! Seems they're still serving great food then! I should go back there soon! Miss some awesome Brazilian food here!
