Barcelona!

I am so relieved to be back in the Western world again, I know it sounds terrible. But at least Spain is less overwhelming and different than back at home. 
In case you were worried, the mullet seems to be alive and well in Spain. Eeeeeew. Some of the men and women have the WORST hair I have ever seen in my life. I was tempted to tell them that the only people back at home that have those are hillbillies and trailer park people. But I am trying to be nice this time around. 
Barcelonas stores and what not are almost ALL closed on Sundays. Shit. Some of the monuments are open but horrendously crowded with tourists. 
The metro is incredibly confusing, but the city is less so. It is more square (THANK THE LORD) than elsewhere. 
Today I saw 
- Sagrada Familia
- Arc de Triompf 
- The parks nearby 
- Unversidad Barcelone
- The beaches yesterday (though I just went by them) 
- The beautiful docks 
- Walked down La Rambla (and saw an ugly old naked man, I only wish I was making it up) 
- Went to the beach and sat there for a bit. 

Final Thought 
I love Barcelona, its beautiful with charming art everywhere and the buildings are just magnificent
