Barcelona 7/1 – 7/5

7/1
Our first days in a new city are all the same.. another day of wandering around a new city.. while this time we did have a place to stay, it was simply a matter of finding it. Which according to their directions on their website, I knew exactly where it was. However, their map lied. Blatantly… haha. So we got to where the map said to go, and no apartment. We asked for directions and luckily I had written down other information from their site just in case this happened. A Spaniard was able to direct us in the right direction, which we also verified after finding a locutorio (internet place), and were quite overjoyed on yet again getting our huge backpacks off.






We were also very content with the location of our apartment. It is a block away from Las Ramblas, a famous street in Barcelona full of souvenirs, street performers, tourists, pickpockets, and more spoken languages overheard than anywhere else I’ve ever been. So we headed out into this chaos wide-eyed and ready for some excitement. We also found a place to buy groceries, as we are on a budget and fresh bread is the best.
