So, Barcelona is supposed to be great, right? I´m sure it is, if it didn´t look like a swimming pool right now. It´s dumping buckets. I got in this morning from Madrid, and since I stepped out of the Metro, its been raining at varying intensities. I tried walking around with my guide book to look at the sights, but trying to hold an umbrella that continues to turn inside out and a guidebook at the same time is pretty impossible.
So, three cheers for Starbucks. I sat inside for an hour and chatted with some peeps from Iceland. Now Im back at the hostel - couldnt get a couchsurfing host for tonight - drying off. I may read for a while or something, I dont know. The TV behind me has gifted me in the past half and hour with: James Blunt, Lionel Richie, and Jewel.... yeah. If the weather (or music video selection) continues like this, I think I´ll just go on to the south of France a couple of days early. I guess not every city is gonna be great. Too bad though, everyone and their dog was telling me that Barcelona was the bees knees.
Off to continue my adventure in the pages of a Hemingway classic...

Here's hoping that your weather blues will turn into blue skys and fun times in Barcelona. Many great things to see there. Maybe the down time at the hostel will provide some time for renewing refreshing....wait...isn't that the same as a shower? Take care. D.O.D. :)
Well.. it just goes to show no matter what continent U R on the weather has a mind of its own. I hope U see some sun soon. Use the time to rest & recoup. U've got a LOT of things tsee & places to go yet!
LOVE. MOM :)
I didn't really like Barcelone. Probably because I was there on 9/11. Hope the weather turns so you can enjoy it! Loving your blog. Thanks for keeping everyone posted!
Listen to Riders On the Storm by The Doors and just roll with it man.
