Not as in “not working”, but just not really being posted in the order that things have been happening.
The first weekend we were here, we experienced La Mercè – the dragons, the correfocs, the fireworks (twice), the castellers, and ending with the pyromusical. We’ve only just started to finish posting the photos from those events – and that was only the first weekend!
We’ve walked around the local neighborhood and the city center a couple of times. We’ve wandered around La Ramblas looking for souveniers (but they’re horrible quality and too expensive, so we need to shop elsewhere) and hung out with Dani & friends several times at their apartments, bars/pubs, restaurants, and a tea house. We’ve visited La Cathedral, the Roman ruins beneath the city, L’aquarium, the Monestary at Monserrat, and an entire day o’ Gaudi (Park Guell & Sagrada Familia). We almost spent today looking at castles a couple hours away, but decided to take a day off and actually relax on our vacation. Besides, Steve’s been having sinus issues for the past couple of days, but he seems to be doing better now.
Tomorrow we’re going to head back out to the city for some shopping and I’m not sure what else. Tuesday we might do something in the morning, and then come back to Dani’s and start packing. It’ll be an early morning on Wednesday so we can catch the train to the airport. Then it’s right back to work on Thursday! whee~ I wonder how the jetlag’s going to be…
We’re hoping to have more photos resized and uploaded before we go back home. Perhaps we will – Steve found a batch photo resize utility that will help speed things along. Keep checking the journal after we’ve returned. I’m sure we’ll still be trying to finish submitting stories and photos for several days.
