Barcelone –

Long walk up La Rambla, dinner by myself at La Federal café,  evening walk along the port back to BArcelonetta, I went out for a drink late that just because  and I didn’t want to be a total lamo.  Day two was a quick run along the beach and then embracing the beach ways and laying topless so I could sunburn my boobs ( not on purpose ).  I walked the rest of the day and soaked in the city.  I went to bed early since I was so sunburned.  The next morning I hustled over to the new apartment and waited for the girls to arrive.  The apartment was amazing and perfect for our international rendevouz for betsy’s celebration.  I even managaed to make her cry when she saw me.. my presence being that much of a surprise.  The rest of the day we relaxed, went for some tapas, drank champagne, and walked a bit of the city.  Day 4 consisted of a bike ride through the city, tapas and champagne on the beach, and then full on Bachelorette Party- ness complete with all the silly stupid and wild games that come with this type of celebration.  The night ended well and the morning began with giggles reminiscing the night before.  I managed to make out with a cute dutch boy and for sure broke his heart.  He sent me photos via whatsapp later and chatted lightly with promises to see each other again.  The next day was tiresome and we walked through the old gothic side of the city and brunched, did a bit of shopping and then napped.  A few of us caught the sunset from parc Guell which was definitely a highlight for me from the entire trip.  The night ended with a final dinner out on the town..  and went downhill have having too many lemoncello shots.  I pretty much passed out at some point and was incapable of getting myself home.  It was the first time and the only time I will cross a line.  It was necessary and I immediately felt better afterwards.  Quite amazing actually. I was able to walk myself out and actually function the rest of the day.  I met up with a nice Spanish guy and had dinner and coffee and chatted the night away.  Thus ends my Barcelona experience!
