Barcelona in a blurb

hey hey! we're back!!! Sally came on time on Weds, with a suitcase full of Reese Puffs, Presidents Choice decadent chocolate chip cookies, real fruit gummies, twizzlers, pop tarts and a very highly craved CINNZEO bun!! (all the things I requested from good ol' Canada) MMMMMMMMMMMMMM... It was SOOOOOO good!!! So yea, we flew to Barcelona shortly after, and spent 3 full days exploring the fairly dangerous ghettos of the 'most beautiful city in Europe'. We saw most of the sights, including La Sagrada Familia (the still unfinished temple), the outsides of Casa Battlo, La Pedrera, several crowded MANGO stores, even more extra crowded ZARA stores, a handful of cathedrals, the Good Friday procession, Parc Guell, and more... Our overall impression of Barcelona in a quick bite is: too many tourists, a bit scary and sketchy w/ seemingly high crime rate, very nice beaches and good food, and perhaps just a tad overrated for us non-architecture appreciating types. :P but overall it was fun! we both bought a pair of new shoes (mocassins! mine were lime hehe, and hers were blue), and I also got MNG jeans woohoo! things were much cheaper than here but it was a ridiculous 15 mins to get to the changing rooms and another 15 mins to pay for the items >:P so ya it was kinda dumb.

Pics to come soon...
