...it has been brought to my attention, that I left you all hanging on the absolute worst post to be left hanging on... ever. I’m truly very very VERY sorry! No! I haven’t been ducking for cover in random metro stops this week, I’ve actually just been really busy having a great time. Bethany came into town from Madrid, and we’ve been getting up early (okay, fine... that’s a relative term?) and going to bed late (Umm... that’s for real) packing as much of the city (both tourist, and non-touristy-Michelle-is-lost-and-doesn’t-want-to-admit-it-so-she’s-just-going-to-keep-on-walking-while-avoiding-eye-contact-with-Bethany-to-keep-up-the-pretense-that-she-totally-knows-where-she’s-going sections of town... just kidding, Bethany!... or am I?...I am... not? whatever). Point being, she got a pretty thorough tour of the city. hehehe... and it was loads of home-baked fun!
Thursday I took her on a tour of the Gothic Neighborhood... in the dark. So, Friday we went back. It’s nice to actually be able to see both the inside and... outside... and the sidewalk of that section of town... and the day was lovely! We went into just about every cathedral we could find, and then took the metro to Sagrada Familia to eat a picnic lunch at the park facing the origional facade. After walking around the church and looking for the pond (which had dried up) we headed off to Pedrera and Casa... the other one Gaudi built on Passeig de Gracia... and getting in a bit more of the city scenery than expected. Hehehe... Where’s the “I’m the Map” guy from Dora when you need him! After meandering down that street, we came back to Plaça Catalunya and then went down to the beach. Holla! the water was obviously too cold to venture into (much like SD in winter) so we just chilled out on the sand. After, we went to La Self Naturalista, a lovely vegetarian restaurant that serves up Spanish dishes, and then watched a movie (The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain, anyone?! awesome!).
Mkay, because we explored the city part of Barcelona on Friday, I thought it might be kinda fun to see the Nature-like part of the town on Saturday. We went to Park Güell in the morning and then climbed up Mt. Tibidabo in the afternoon. Oh, and for dessert, we went to this cafe in Barrio Gótico that serves chocolates.Yep... I think I can speak for both of us when I say... I’m kinda feeling it today. But! For a whirlwind tour of the city, we sure did have a relaxing and fun time together. I was sad to see her go. =(
Hope your weekends were all splendid! and that I get to hear from you soon! Please update me! I want to her about your lives!
Love you all so much!
