barcelona

alrighty, i just want to note that the man that i fell into was wearing actual swim trunks. so there was no my cheek to his cheek action going on....... :) but i will tell you what, most men do wear speedos or something to that effect, so i think i got lucky falling into one with more coverage :)

we are in barcelona. after not hearing my alarm clock go off for a couple straight minutes at 4:20am due to my awesome ear plugs, sarah woke me up at 4:52am and we were out the door by 5:15 to make our 6am train. our train ride was 12 and a half hours yesterday total. and sarah and i probably slept at least 6 of them on the train. there is something about the trains here but we both pass out the minute we sit down :) we met a really nice american lady on our last stint of the ride so that was fun. and we talked to another guy who was 1/2 french, 1/2 spanish and he gave us some good places to go in spain. and he was straight up beautiful so that added to the fun :)

we´re basically just chilling today. we want to get ourselves aclimated with the city so that when marci gets here tomorrow we´ll be ready to roll. and i think we´ll probably go to the beach at some point.... there´s nothing like getting a burn on top of a burn..... it wouldn´t really be a problem if i didn´t have to have carry 80 extremely heavy bags on my shoulders.....oh well. its my own fault :)

big news folks - as sarah and i were walking around last night trying to find some place to eat (it was her decision b-c she rejected my first recommendation, so little miss picky got to decide) ;) we ran across the first STARBUCKS that we´ve seen since we´ve been here. whoop whoop!!!!! venti iced cinnamon dolce latte here i come!!!! we´re totally going today before we take the metro to the beach :) and if they have a different flavor or special drink that they don´t offer in america i will try it, but my staple drink is really calling my name :) we had a free breakfast at our hostel this morning and i had a cappucino and i´m still shaking from it as i type..... i think that i have broken my caffeine addiction a bit while i´ve been here b-c i have gone a couple days sometimes without anything and i haven´t gotten headaches, and then when i do have it (like this morning) i am out of control jittery. its wonderful!!!!

so last night at dinner we ended up going to a little place off a side street and i tried gazpacho soup which i really enjoyed. and then i ordered some kind of chicken. i was excited and it basically turned out to be really really thin filets of friend chicken and fries! hahahah. so that was scrumptious and then i had rice and milk for dessert. yummtastic!! sarah enjoyed some white wine..... and the waiter brought us a shot of apple vodka ón the house´which tasted really good :)

i´m sorry to report that i don´t have any stories today to top the falling into a man´s butt story..... :( i´m sure that once marci arrives the true adventure will begin :) i am really looking forward to our time in spain (if i´m honest it was not on the top of my list at first) but now i´m totally stoked about it!!

thats all for now..... :)
