Misadventures

Picasso museum was closed bc it´s a monday. That makes sense, right? So my count on the two museums I´ve actually attempted to see since Ive been here is 0-2 (Louvre was closed when I went to that, also).
My count in Barcelona of people that have treid to sell me hash or marijuana in a total of about 3 days here during this trip is approximately 17. Don´t know why, but, for some reason, the drug dealers in Barcelona are everywhere and are not afraid to get in your face and ask you in every language they know if you wnat what theyre selling. Everywhere else I´ve been, none of that. Don´t know why.
I actually had to knock the crap out of one of them today bc he went for my pockets after I turned him down when he asked me if I wanted hash. A Cop was right nearby and started screaming at the guy as he got off the ground and ran away.
So I´m back in the internet cafe now bc I feel like I´ve seen and done everything you can possibly do for free in this city. It´s quite beautiful, but is certainly tourist central. I´m looking forward to heading to Porto, Portugal tomorrow night bc it´s supposed to be a really cool town and isnt swarming with tourists aka not expensive. My misadventures have cost me much more than I wished they had, so I really have to be careful and live like a bum this next week. Shouldnt be too bad though. I got a cheap hostel which was rated very highly in Porto and I´ll just eat picnics from stuff I can get at the market there. Probably will head down to the beach and get sunburnt too. All in all, as long as I don´t have any trouble with the trains tonight, things are finally looking up and I can get this trip turned around again. I´m definitely looking forward to seeing Greg and going to Lisbon and exploring more of Portugal with him before we head back over to Switzerland, Italy, Germany (Wacken Open Air concert!!!), and the Netherlands.
