Europe - Barcelona

Journal of Vacation in Europe - from July 16, 2007

Completely lost. At least in France, I could pretend I knew what people were saying and even convince myself sometimes. Less than a week in and there's no doubt about it; planning a trip is hard work. So today I got a welcome respite from the rush and got a taste of the Mediterranean. Literally. It didn't taste all that great to me; it was too salty. The day was beautiful and the waves huge. I almost got sucked under the water was so rough. Today was a good day; more like a vacation.

Barcelona is a good city in which to just wander around and enjoy the sights. And the food. There are areas of town that have so many restaurants that it seems like they're really competing with the others to fill tables. At one place we paused, the the owner started giving a whole sales pitch. I thought I was at a used car dealership.
Speaking of cars, traffic is so crazy I don't know where to look anymore since England. All I know is to is I must stay in the 'do not kill' zone, otherwise called the crosswalk.
