Espana!

Like I mentioned before, I went on a quick getaway to Barcelona this weekend for 2 nights and 2 days. It was quite an experience- tiring in many ways, but also very engaging and novel. Here's a quick breakdown of what I did.

Friday
- Woke up at 4am to catch a 6:30am flight to BCN (remind me to never book early flights again)
- Met with the girls from Madrid and headed to Avenue Mistral to check into our weekend house
- Dropped off all of our stuff and headed to Boqueria, a famous food market near La Ramblas
- Had the best coconut juice I've ever tasted in my life, paired with some other mind-blowing croquettes and snacks
- Went shopping at Zara and finally bought that blue jacket I've been eyeing for a month now
- Visited Casa Batlló
- Went back home and PTFO-ed for a few hours from exhaustion
- Ate dinner at Blai 2Night and had the most delicious and affordable pintxos ever ever ever.
- Met with Lumi and headed to Opium for a night of clubbing and fighting off creepy 30-year old men
- Jumped into the beach with all of our clothes still on
- Die at 5 in the morning and revived promptly at 12pm the next day  

Saturday
- Had brunch at another tapas place
- Visited Sagrada Familia
- Walked a very long walk to the beaches at Barceloneta
- Ended up swimming in my undergarments :x
- Collected sea glass for the first time! I was super excited about that :)
- Ate a late lunch at another tapas bar that we went to by accident, but it ended up being very yummy
- Visited Parc Guell and saw a breathtaking view of Barcelona, along with some of the most intriguing tiles that I've seen
- Went home for another siesta
- Had dinner at some paella place
- Walked around a bit and ended the night by getting McFlurries at Mcdonalds

Sunday
- 4am departure (reminder #2 to never book early flights again)

Since I'm on a run with lists, here are some random things that I noticed about Spain:
- Spaniards are truly some of the most beautiful groups of people that I've laid eyes on
- Spaniards also have no shame in cat-calling to girls in addition to shouting "ne hao" at us every other block
- Prices are notably cheaper than in France
- Sausages and potatoes are a large part of their diet
- Spanish food is hands down some of the best food I've had. Their bombas and spanish omelettes are to die for.
- I'll add more as they come into my head.


Once again, I leave you with some photos of our trip :)

i would give my left leg to eat this again
