Hey guys! it´s been awhile! the rest of our time in paris went really fast! we visited the notre dame cathedral the pompidou center and the latin quarter and basically spent most of our time trying to keep warm :) yesterday we arrived in Barcelona, Spain and we fell in LOVE! this city is clean, the people are friendly, and the buildings are so gorgeous. we haven´t done much sight seeing yet but today we went to an open air market right next to our hostel. I´ve never seen so many fresh fruits, meet, fish, bread, vegetables and chocolate! The colors and smells were amazing. we will be going back everyday to take advantage of the amazing cheap food!! we were also really happy to find a starbucks here. i know, it sounds lame, but other coffee is really expensive and tiny. starbucks at least has drinks worth the money. we ate an authentic spanish dinner our first night. tapas (mushrooms, and a seafood salad) and seafood paella with sangria to drink!!! yuuuuuummmmm. there are flower stands everywhere on the streets and tons of street performers, which were actually crappy. haha it´s also much warmer and even sunny here. good because more cold weather and we might literally drop dead. we had a bad night last night because we were basically in a room with an alcoholic who was yelling, turning on lights, peeing on himself...you know all that disgusting stuff. but barcelona is so amazing that we weren´t too fazed and are just moving rooms. anyway, i miss you guys :( let me know how you are!
love,
Tara
