christmas eve

have really been relaxing here in barcelona, it has been nice sleeping in and stuff. i went and saw the picasso museum while nate saw the barcelona zoo-- picasso was pretty sweet, tons of work and quite and extensive look at the history of his art.

saw la iglesia de la sagrada familia desgined by gaudi, but like everything else here in spain it was under construction. there is always some sort of jackhammer/loud bang going on everywhere. kind of funny really.

seeing the mediterranean was neat, tons of boats on the docks and stuff. the traffic circle just before the shore has a monument of colombus pointing towards america... it is really tall and pretty cool looking.

we fly out on sunday, pretty sure today is friday so that is coming up. amazing how the days become somewhat of a blur. the hostel we are in right now very closely resembles what nate likes to call ¨russian slave quarters.¨ it is dark, all stone and for the most part scary, although we do have a nice room that they screwed up on so that is pretty cool. there arent a ton of travellers which could be attributed to the shitty hostel or just the fact that the travel season is pretty low right now.

merry christmas to you and yours.
