Today is my last day in Barcelona. I really only got two days in so I´ve been motoring around the city. This city has pretty much everything, a harbor, beach, parks, mountiain, narrow Gothic streets, shopping, food, etc. I would definitely say I would pick Barcelona over Madrid.
Most of my days, regardless of the city, has been going to a tourist information office or stand, grabbing a city map and walking around. Most the hot spots are close to each other so I´ve either purposefully found a site or on my way to finding something, stumble across something definitely worth seeing. Being the cheapskate that I am, I try to avoid for paying for things if possible. This means I have to pick the one museum I want to see in each city that I will pay for. Otherwise, wandering around or taking public transportation has been working so far.
The hotel I am currently staying at only has Spanish channels. No CNN or BBC World. So sometimes I find myself watching the news trying to figure out what the story is. There was a huge cell phone expo in town. And Robert Redford was in town for it. And Thierry Henry is back to the Barcelona futbol club he plays for. And he and Ronaldinho love each other. I think.
I head to Paris tomorrow to stay with my uncle Cau Ngoc, aunt Co Ngoc, and cousin Johnny. I am very excited to stay with family, have a home cooked meal and a free place to rest my head.

Yay, Barthelona! Did you know they had the Olympics there a long long time ago?
Glad your trip is going so well. Keep up the good blogging work. And come home soon. Nobody in Chicago watches 'Lost'.
Enough of this. I miss your soft hair and freakishly smooth skin. I come for you chinita. Paris is the city of lights! And the city of love. Not even your Anonymous friend's finger wave can keep us apart.
I go.
