Barcelona is an AMAZING city. The architecture is incredible, the weather gorgeous, the food great...everything is amazing except...the people haha. Every negative stereotype about the Frenhc you hear all the time never came to be for us while we were in France. However, Spanish people are exactly the way the French are characterized. They all are rude and cold towards Americans and always give you these arrogant ¨holier than thou¨ looks. Also, they like to congregate directly in the middle of the busiest walking paths like annoying Dartmouth kids with absolutely no respect or consideration for anyone trying to walk by (Greg and I termed this horrible condition ¨Dartmouth Syndrome¨ years ago to describe kids at Dartmouth who always seem to get in our way bc most of them were socially retarded.
However, today we saw some amazing sights like Gaudi´s house, the Sagrada Familia cathedral which was amazing, and also Parque Guall designed by Gaudi also.
Anyway, I still love Spain and am excited to see more of the country and get out of the big city. Tonight, Greg and I are taking a night train to Bayonne France right near San Sebastion Spain where we´ll spend the next few days before the infamous running of the bulls in Pamplona.
And to summarize...
