Hello from Barcelona

We arrived in London yesterday safe and sound. London was a ¨shit show.¨ Our flights were fine but Kristy packed her ambien in her checked luggage so we didn´t sleep as well as we hoped. We did take some Tylenol PM which ended up leaving us in a como for our landing and tube rides, then carrying over to our tour. We checked into our hostel and it was really nice. It was probably the nicest hostel I have stayed in. The buds had privacy curtains that reminded me of my tent bed. I loved it! Apparently so much that I snored last night and Kristy had to decide to let me sleep and annoy the rest of the room or wake me up. Being the best friend that she is she said, F them and let me snore away. After we got all situated in out room we bought a hop on hop off tour but were so tired that it ended up being more tortorous than fun. Both of us kept falling asleep. Kristy almost hit her head on the seat infront of her and I almost dozed off my chair. Again a shit show. We got off and walked back to find a pub. We bellied up to the first bar we found and ordered two pints of English brew. We noticed while sitting here that not one person ordered a Coors Light. Weird. With a nice little buzz we wandered across the street and ordered two Strongbows, forgetting that it´s a cider. Kristy ordered her fish and chips and I got Phad Thai (holla Hay!) At this point we were delirious from lack of sleep and Tylenol and Strongbow so we headed back to the hostel to take a shower and finally pass out. Our stay in London was very short lived, we flew out this morning for Barcelona!

We arrived early enough to check in and spend the day drinking and wandering the streets. Barcelona is beautiful. Again, we lucked out with a very nice hostel. We´re staying in a 6 bed mixed dorm but we have a bathroom (Shell seeing Barcelona is worth your bowels) in our room and the shower even has a curtain! We´re getting spoiled with nice hostels. Our location couldn´t be better. We´re right in the middle of everything sorrounded by Irish pubs and lots of shopping. Today we walked down to a street cafe and drank sangria and people watched. It was so fun. We went to a real restaurant for dinner and spent way too much money but we wanted to try ¨authentic¨food. We each had paella. It was delicious but we will be shopping at the market to save some Euros (that´s right I said plural- Chris that was for you) We´ve been trying to figure out the calling card situation. I brought my phone to buy a prepaid SIM and FINALLY got it figured out. In the meantime we bought calling cards but couldn´t read them (they are in spanish) or understand the prompts. The theme to this trip has been, live and learn. Carlee you would be embarrassed at some of the stupid shit we´ve done. We did master the tube and we´re looking forward to hitting that up when we get back to London in a few weeks. Tomorrow our plan is to go to the waterfront and drink. We are having so much fun! We wish you could all be here. We haven´t taken any videos yet but that will go down very soon!

Shout out to Carlee for planning this amazing trip!
