On route from Barcelona to Napoli. Bittersweet in that we are leaving one of my favorite places on earth, yet headed to somewhere exciting and unknown. Being in Barcelona was like being in a dream in that there were places and things that I remember, and at the same time it was all a new adventure. One thing, though, stayed the same: long days and even longer nights. When in Barcelona, you are inevitably forced to live like a local, staying up until the morning hours, waking up to enjoy wonderful food like tapas, pinxtos, and paella, and then repeating all while enjoying cheap vino, cava, or cerveza sold by street vendors trying to make a few euro. Like all dreams, though, Barcelona also had to come to an end for us, but fortunately we have another one to look forward to in Napoli. Should probably brush up on my Italian though...
Things I will remember about Barcelona:
street beers, tapas/pinxtos, la Sagrada Familia, Parque Guell, Barceloneta, "massagee, massaje", "beercervezafantaagua", Chris and John from Copenhagen, late nights, topless beaches, clean metros, la boqueria, three flights of moldy stairs to our apartment, vino tinto, la Ribera district, Santa Maria del Mar, loud sounds at night outside our window, paella, plaza del born, Las Ramblas, losing my debit card, Dirty Monday's, cava, Bradley the dj, getting to speak Spanish again...Barcelona me pone alegrisimo!
