Leaving Barcelona?

We are supposed to leave Barcelona this evening, so hopefully that will go a little more smoothly than leaving Paris. We fly to Palermo, Sicily tonight.

Yesterday we went to the beach, it was really nice. The water was freezing but Jess braved the coldness and swam out to a rock island a ways away from shore. She said there were all kinds of sea creatures swimming on the otherside, but none of us would know. I did swim for a while, when I finally warmed up to the water it felt really good. There were little specs of gold in it which was really pretty.



I think that was my first European beach experience. Its WAY different than any American beach Ive been too. It seemed like the older men loved the tiny swim suits. A lot of women went topless but everyone was pretty much used to it.

After walking all around Bacelona the last two days my feet are pretty much hating me at this point. We arent really on speaking terms at all actually.

So I added a few pictures to the other blog entries. Im just going to put a few more below here because it might be faster and the hostel people are starting to stir.
