had me low, had me down-a! Just kidding, that was a feeble attempt at jazz. I do believe Frankie is rolling in his grave.
Greetings fellow earthlings! Last night the group decided to head out to some of the local discotecas...okay, before you get worried...no, I didn’t go; yes, I am, in fact, a huge party pooper; and no, I didn’t miss out on anything. According to my friends here, it was, at best, slightly awkward...
So, having said that, today I headed off solo early this afternoon to the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona in search of a section of the town my heart would throb over. I’m pretty sure I found it. Orgionally, I had intended to hunt down the illusive “la Sagrada Familia” by Gaudi, and Santa Maria del Mar, but instead I stumbled on two older and absolutely gorgeous Cathedrals built who knows when (no seriously, who knows? I want to...) and with free enterance and pictures allowed inside. Though I took an obnoxious amount of photos, like three turned out good, and the rest were super blurry. It was raining today, and the light was being testy. Meehhh.... However, I got to sit back and enjoy the somber poetry of an elderly spanish man pleading for the heath of his wife in front of Santa Maria, and feed some huge patos (quack) who were running around an inclosure inside one of the church courtyards. Its been a beautiful day so far, quite rainy but beautiful. Right now I’m just sinning in bed, snuggled up for a siesta, before I head out looking for more historic parts of the city. Hope you all have an excellent day! I think the sun is just starting to peak over the horizon on your end of the ocean (if my math is correct). I would say I send my love with it, but the sun and I didn’t meet up today, so this post will just have to do.
Love you!
here be the photos...the few that turned out well.
Enjoy!

oh! while I was getting some coffee at a shop today, I met a woman who need an english tutor, and she was willing to speak to me in Castillian. So, today I made a teacher, a student, and a friend. =)

Hi Michelle! I'm glad that you found my blog...isn't life in Europe fantastic? Anyways, don't know as I'll have much of an opportunity to come down to Spain...I'm on the west coast of France, but as I'm a teacher, I don't have much opportunity for travel. But if you ever wanted to come up to France and see the beautiful La Rochelle and other towns in my area, be my guest! I always welcome visitors!
Awesome! I will let you know! Oh...and for the record...I was "sitting in bed" ... not "sinning". Sitting! Sitting!!
