Back to Barcelona!!!
I aparently can´t get enough of this city. But, all roads lead to Barcelona, as do all trains, buses and boats :)
I left Tarragona this morning :( I love that city! Yesterday I walked through a 14th century home, complete with all the furnishing and such, and then went to the beach to catch a nap. There´s nothing more soothing than sitting on the beach and listening to the waves. THey rock you to sleep with a shush, very motherly :)
After the beach, I headed back into town. The place was empty when I woke up in the morning, and I wondered why, until I realized it was Sunday. So I headed to the church. What else do you do on Sunday? The cathedral was closed ot the public, but I was able to walk around the atrium, complete with fountain, and rose bushes. And the carved arches that stretched up to the central rose at the top supporting everything. And as I walked around this silent, beautiful area, the choir was singing, and the congregation joined in, and the sun broke through the clouds, and it was so amazing. Just to hear the voices echoing through the halls, out into the courtyard. When they finished, the church bell tolled, and I just sat there and listened to it´s ring bounce and roll through the open area, letting it reverberate off my skin, sending goosebumps up my arms. It was awesome.
Outside the church, as the people exited, there was the flea market. Which of course sent Jesus Christ Superstar through my head - people seeing everything, all in this open market, right in the plaza outside the church. But to truly finish off the setting, the buildings around the market were supported by these carved columns that are all over the twon. This market had been a market since it opened up back in the Roman times. I LOVE THIS TOWN
But now I´m back in Barcelona. I have no idea where I´ll be heading tomorrow. It´s a bizarre feeling that I haven´t quite gotten used to. I have no agenda. No plans, no committments. I´m sure my parents are hating it :) They can´t track me to know that I¨m okay. But I promise. If at any point I´m not okay, you all will be the first to know. I´ve gone thru another 3 rolls fo film! Picture party in the future!!!! And the best Sangria you´ve all ever tasted! Along with a few tapas. It looks like I may be back in September, if not earlier (damn bank account isn´t endless after all!!!) but it will be good to have one bed, to know where I´ll be sleeping, that I´ll be able to eat, have access to a phone and the like. Traveling can be somewhat stressfull that way. So - I may see you all soon, but not until I take as many pictures as humanly possible!!

Muhahaha first post. Looking forward to a big picture party and the like.
Pedicures? Erm, no thanks. Pictures though, yay!
Alexis, just FYI, joe has stated that you and I are post-sluts. Frankly I think there are too many lurkers out there, so he has lots of company no doubt.
Oh haven't you heard? I am taking a break from drinking right now. With all my training, I'm trying to stay as healthy as possible.
I just bought new running shoes today!!! except I can't run a whole lot...but when I'm all better I will be! Sorry but I figured the women could relate to me getting new shoes. Oh and Lux you can too as you know what they are for. *idly wondering if he's a post slut now or not. Today was pretty postastic*
