BARCELONA!

So after spending three full nights (including Halloween) in Barcelona, I can safely say I have a solid feel for this city. It is INSANE!!!!!!!! The Spanish have the most messed up daily routines on the face of the planet. We'll start with lunch (because we never actually woke up early enough for breakfast). Lunchtime in Barcelona is about 3 PM. Most restaurants that are "chic lunch places" are either closed or totally empty until about 2-3:30PM. After a long relaxing lunch, everyone goes and does their thing for a bit, and then at around 5-6 the city shuts down: Siesta time. Stores close, full restaurant staffs go home, and the only thing left open in the whole city (it feels like), is STARBUCKS! The city then rallies around 7-8 PM to get moving in the dinner direction. Dinner is about 10 PM. Mom and Dad, we should move to Spain, we'd fit in better (minus the Jewish and non-spanish speaking parts). After dinner, the clubs and bars open at about midnight, people go crazy, and start stumbling home at around 4:30-5 AM! You try doing that for three days and tell me how you feel.

I feel like garbage right now, but it hasn't stopped us from seeing the most incredible sights in the world. We saw Sagrada Familia, aka the Gaudi Cathedrale today. I have never been so awestruck by anything in my entire life. No joke. I spent three hours walking through the church (still being built, thats how big it is), trying to keep my jaw off the floor. Unreal.

We also saw the city from the highest possible points. Really cool, just undescribable scenary! Pictures below tell all (and the casualties of the trip, yes all of us).
