Paella



Authentic Spanish cuisine with muscles, clams, shrimp and fish cooked into it, it might have been one of the yummiest dishes I have had on this trip! We were only in the French Riviera for a day and a quarter so time was spent laying on the beach where most of the women were topless, old or young didnt matter. Then we took a nine hour bus ride, which I got a broken seat that reclined ALL the way back like laying down position to Spain. The hotel here in Barcelona is actually a full service hotel with a pool, REAL breakfast with an omlet bar, and a full size tub! Of course they would give us the nice hotel on our last two nights here! We went shopping and hit the beach of course which was packed and had even more topless women!! Not shy here at all obviously. The sand at the beaches here though are very dirty, they have small flat flakes of black which stick right to your skin. Even in the shower scrubbing myself I couldnt get it all off. But the city is absolutely beautiful, the scenery is so green and palm trees everywhere. Palm trees are one of their symbols here but a plague has hit their palm trees killing most of them.

We also visited the super huge fancy park designed by Gaudi where we took a mini photo shoot in the stone tunnel where an episode of Americas Next Top Model was filmed!!! So cool. He was an architect who at the time people thought was crazy, but of course now that he is dead he is very famous and said to be a genius. The park has frosted buildings which resemble Hansel nd Gretel candy houses and animal shaped canals, so cool! Now we are about to catch the tram to our farewell dinner, sad to say bye to all these people, like moving out of the dorms and moving back home but soo ready to get back to my life in California with free refills, free water, A/C, screen doors, homemade meals, and clean free public bathrooms. I love Europe but I am definitely a California girl!
