Barcelona 
Dear Barcelona,
First off I want to thank you for your wonderful sun. It has been some time since we have been able to reap the benefits of warm weather. Our shoulders are especially grateful! Despite your luxurious beaches, delicious sea food, and wonderful tapas, we did find you a bit temperamental at times. Let us recap on the events and misfortunes in Barcelona...
When we arrived from Madrid, it took us a while to locate our hostel. The people were very friendly but alas they spoke no ingles. Try as they may to help, their easy going lifestyle did not fit well into our schedule. You see, everything was closed by 6, including any way of getting money to pay for our hostel. This gave us entertainment for the next few hours wandering around the streets of Barcelona looking for an ATM. Afterwards all we had energy for was dinner and sleep. To make up for our interesting evening the night before, we started the next day off quite well, strolling down the sidewalk past street venders, sidewalk artists, cafe's, sail boats, beaches and naked men running down the pier away form the police. It was quite lovely to say the least. We stopped in a cafe and ate some wonderful sea food. We proceeded to the beach and soaked up some sun, took some great pics ands collected some interesting rocks along the Mediterranean shoreline...to be continued
