This weekend has been wonderful. Kat and I went to the playa and relaxed all yesterday. The beach was wonderful, the water warm and comforting and the sights were....well...interesting.After being at the beach near the Olympic village for most of the day, Kat and I parted ways to nap so that we were able to go out to have tapas that night. We ended up having a great time at Casa Tomasa (I think that is what it was called) and had some great tapas, Cava, and as always, some laughs.
Today I did a lot of sight-seeing and feeling out of the city. I started outwalking to the
Sagrada Familia to take a look if the shops were open today...it is Sunday and I forgot that things aren't open. Oh well, I continued down to see if the Mercat de San Antoni was open. No dice....BUT I found the most interesting open-air book Market nearby. I perused and saw a bunch of books that I'd love to buy for my class and for myself. Needless to say, I will be returning.
I took the metro back to the Sagrada Familia to take a look at it's open air market. Nothing really interested me, but I went all the same. Took a few pictures of the amazing structure that I pass so nonchalantly everyday and continued to Passeig de Gracia.
From Passeig de Gracia I took a few pictures of the cool fountains in the Plaza and headed down to Placa Cataluyna and took some more pictures. I walked through Las
Ramblas and continued on my way to the metro, stopping every so often to consider if I should buy a Spanish National Team Jersey. I think tonight I just may...who know.
Well, I'm to prep myself for the big game!
España vs. Netherlands for the title this evening. VIVA LA ROJA!
Until next time
