Hi ya´ll :)
Today is our last full day in Barcelona. We had originally planned to hop on over to Madrid but we´ve kinda decided it´s time to move on to another country. Scheduling was getting crazy and expensive, and we suddenly found a ferry to take us from barcelona to rome that was the cheapest option! AWESOME! Barcelona has been an amazing experience though. We saw a band and flamenco dancers perform the other day and it was not like any dancing i´ve seen before. The dancer had so much passion and obviously loved this dance, there´s alot of stomping and hand clamping and i litteraly just sat there with my mouth open. On Valentine´s day it was gorgeous and the sun was shining and we walked to the beach! It seriously reminded us of Hawaii and we got homesick for like a second...and then it passed because we remembered where we were! haha. There was a gorgeous boardwalk with tons of people rollerblading, biking, dogs were frolicking..it was magical people, magical. Barcelona was also the site of the olympics one year so they still had a village and all of this modern setup from that time. It was like we were in another world, it was weird. For Valentine´s dinner we had the most DELICIOUS SCRUMTIOUS FANTASTIC WONDERFUL YUMMY seafood ever. It consisted of prawns, mussels, lobster, fish, and calamari! all grilled and amazing. it´s funny because a year ago i would have never touched any of that stuff but i´m all over seafood now...weird. that´s what hawaii does to you i guess! today we´re heading over to this cute bookshop we´ve heard about and once again getting lunch from the beautiful market (La Boqueria) probably fruit salads that have pretty much every fruit you´ve ever heard of and then one thousand that you haven´t even seen before. I´ve also seen on the travel channel that spain has this wonderful hot chocolate drink that´s really thick and they dip churros in it, and we´ve seen that alot around here so we´re making sure we get that before we leave to italy.
When we get to Italy on the 18th we´re spending four days in rome and then we´re gonna take really cheap regional trains all around the country, probably going to florence, milan, bologna, and venice. We´re beyond excited!! anyway hope all is well wherever you are!
love, Tara
