Oh Barcelona...

It was an early morning today, traveling from Carcassonne to Barcelona.  Things they forget to mention when booking a hostel such as 30€ cab fare into town (each way) to catch an early train... ended up spending more on cabs than the accommodation.  Oh well.

When I got in, I dropped by bags, stripped from my sweaty garments, took a shower and took a nap.  Perfect... I am now getting ready to run out for a quick "overview" sightseeing of Sagrada Familia (four blocks away from my hostel), down to Catalunya Square and a walk down Las Ramblas to the waterfront, have a peak and then head back to the hostel to change into presentable wear.  Then, I am going to try and catch our friend Christophe, who is working at the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona, and bug him into hanging out with me for at least a few minutes.

Then, party until 5:00am.  Hah!  I kid, I kid.

I did purchase my ticket for the Friday portion of the Primavera Sound Music Festival.  Pretty expensive but I don't often get the chance to see one of my favorite bands of all time.

On that note, I posted my thief story to jetsetExtra if you wanted to reread OR to see some more photos from Grenoble.

Buenos Dias!
