Hey all, I did bring my laptop, so I want to keep this blog updated, but it may be more of a journal while I'm in Spain and Andorra. Anyways, let me tell you a bit about my day.
- Dear god there are so many pigeons. I was at Plaça de Catalunya and there were were more than I'd ever seen in my life. If you told me I'd ended up in Birds, I would have believed you.
- The Gothic Quarter is beautiful. It feels like a slice of history you get to walk through, but with modern stores.
- There is a lot of graffiti around. My favorite so far is this one puppy that keeps repeating.
- I do not remember as much Spanish as I'd hoped. However, my accent seems to still convince people for a moment that I know what I'm doing.
- Picasso painted a lot more animals than I knew. He had a lot of paintings of pigeons, but I really liked the one of his dog. I just found itPeople very sweet.
- Drinking chocolate is very thick. I feel like someone had told me this already, but I had forgotten.
- Drinking chocolate must have always been intended to dip churros in. It was incredible. I never knew churros needed anything else.
- How is sangria cheaper than coffee? Yes this may just depend on where I go, but still. How did I find very good sangria for less than two euro?
- I saw so many dogs today. I think I just found myself on a popular walking path, but as I ate my breakfast this morning, I saw so many cute doggos. Perhaps I'll go back tomorrow.
- Never fully trust the weather. The weather told me it was going to be pretty cloudy all day and rain a bit, so I brought my umbrella. For the first part of the day, it was incredibly sunny and I internally grumbled about having to bring my umbrella and not bringing my sunglasses. Then it rained and I felt as though I had been proven right. And then it got sunny again. Sigh.
- I need to have tapas some night. I was planning on doing it tonight, but then I found amazing paella. I have no regrets.
- There are a lot of markets. This could be because it was the weekend, but I think I stumbled across at least three outdoor markets today.
- I love that no matter what country I end up in, I can still find alligator things to buy. Today it was an eraser and a bottle opener.
- Wandering remains great. I had a few things I wanted to hit up today, but I'm glad I wandered off the route a bit. I don't think I ever would have found some of the things I did today otherwise.
- Street performers pretending to be statues creeps me out. I looked up once and one of them was staring at me when before he had been looking away.
