ESPANA!!!!!!!

Wow, things have been interesting since that last post.
First, even though several different eurail websites on the internet all said there was a night train to Barcelona, from Nice, the train station ticket guy was adamant that next one was at 6 am and we had to wait for that one. So being true Bavarian soldiers (having been told this by our Bavarian soldier friends), we decided to be homeless for the night rather than pay some ridiculous 50 euro for a Nice hostel to get a few hours of sleep. So Greg and I decided the best spot to hang out for the night was the beach, and it all worked out well. We met this girl who told us the most magical story about how she saw God in Amsterdam, and followed him around the city because he was playing the cello for her and apparently looked like an old Jewish guy. We also met a girl from Nashville who goes to Ole Miss and immediately remembered why we dont live in Nashville anymore.
We wound up getting about 2 hours of sleep lying on the rock beach of Nice on top of our bags so nothing would get stolen and then boarded the train for Barcelpna yesterday morning at 6.
Until we got to the beautiful Spanish border city of Port Bou, we had about 8 hours, of which I slept at least 7, so it all surprisingly worked out well.
The train went along the Spanish coast overlooking vineyards and cliffs at the sea and was BEAUTIFUL! Also, just being able to speak a good amount of Spanish is great u8nlike ion France where we never knew what was going on.
Last night we finally got to Barcelona where we immediately felt so much more comfortable. The city is BEAUTIFUL, and, on a tip from this guy at out hostel, we went to this Spanish greasy spoon diner place and had one of the biggest and most satisfying meals of our lives for about 10 euros and ate so much that the Spanish guys around us were getting scared. Today were going to do some more sightseeing and then are going to take a night train to Bayonne, France near San Sebastion, Spain where well spend a few days before the running of the bulls in Pamplona where i will watch Greg get gored from afar.
By the way, if you put your money on me heading back to Ireland, youd be a rich man, because Im all set to go back and stay with Lauren and I leave from Bilbao Spain on July 9 and then fly back to Porto, Portugal where Ill meet Greg after he finishes the Camino on July 17.
This time I plan on visiting alot of the Irish countryside, and, if you havent guessed already, Lauren is kind of special to me, and Im thinking this might turn into something.
Tomorrow Ill be posting from Bayonne France. Wish us Luck!
