Barcelona! Day 2

After sleeping in, we made our way to the nearest cafe to get some breakfast. Then we walked for what seemed like forever to see some famous window-terrace-glass-covered things and a couple of other famous buildings, a few of which happened to be under construction which was quite frustrating, but being the professional tourists we are, we took pictures nonetheless. When we were all finished walking around the outskirts of Barcelona, we took the metro to the beach because Inga had to have one of the crap beach blankets that the sleazy beach salesmen were selling. But I seazed the opportunity to jump into the Mediterranean for the first time! I'm pretty sure all the people wearing coats and pants thought I was crazy, but now my tan will be better than all of theirs so ha.

Near the beach there was a cable car that went up to Montjuic (Jew Mountain) that we took. I guess you could call it cheating because all we really had to do was hike down the mountain and not up. At the top there was a castle that cost money to see. So we just took our picture and moved on, beacuase let's be real, all castles are pretty much the same. On the hike down, we saw a cool old Roman theatre and tested it's acoutics. It was pretty cool because you could hear people talking at normal volume all the way from the other side. After this, we headed back to the hostel for a break before dinner.

After our break, we decided to see a cool water fountain light show thing before dinner, but just our luck, we found out that it got cancelled it for tonight once we got there. After the disappointment we headed to dinner. I had rabbit and I would not recommend it, but now I can say that I tried it.

We split up after dinner to see a big office tower that lights up different colors at night and then came back to the hostel because it was very late.

Good night,

Nat
