Another Great Day In Barcelona!

Today was very fun. We slept in way too late again. We went back to the same Donar place we went to yesterday, but it was closed, to we waited for it to open. It was only 1/2 hour wait. They donars there are amazing and it was well worth the wait. Then we took the metro to Park Guiell, one of Gaudi´s designs. It is soo cool, tonnes of mosaic tile and the longest park bench in the world. We took the metro, Eric and I to the Poble Espanyol and the boys to the FC Barcelona football stadium and museum. Eric and I didn´t go there because we have already been. The ¨Spanish Village¨ that Eric and I went to wasn´t very good. There was nothing really to see there and it cost 8 euros each to get in. It was just a recreation of 117 spanish buildings, none of which I recognised. It was nice, but it should have been free. There was cool shops we looked around in, but we didnt bring enough money to buy anything good. We walked around and took funny pictures. We spent all of our money on candy and then headed back to the hostel. Even though it wansn´t great it was nice to be on a ¨date¨ with just the two of us.

Back at the hostel we bought groceries and made supper. It was the best supper yet. We made mashed potates with cream cheese, butter, oregano, garlic salt and pepper ( it was half mashed and half chunks but it was all good); fried seasoned pork and a garden salad. It was soooooo very very good. Then we headed out to see a flamenco show. We took the metro to the wrong place and had to go back. We made it to the show with plenty of time. We bought Sangria to drink ( the BEST i have ever had) and enjoyed the show. It was amazing. We only paid 6 euros to get in, because it only lasted 1/2 hour. It was over way too soon. It was my favorite thing we have done here. Now we are going to bed. Tomorrow we head to Marseille with a short detour to the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres. Night!
