Barcelona, Spain




Alright, this post is for real. I'm in a really nice hostel this time, I bought an hour of wi-fi, my camera is connected and I'm good to go. I'm currently in Barcelona, after a decently long bus trip from Avignon, France.

My favorite place I have been so far is probably Switzerland. We were in a beautiful valley town called Lauterbrunnan. I took that picture from a mountain trail on my way down from a little town situated on the mountain. The city was small and kind of boring but it was pretty and you could drink the water from right out of the streams, like the one in the picture but smaller and with less rapids, which was kind of awesome. We climbed up Jungfrau, the highest point in Europe.

In Paris we did a lot of things like the Louvre and a bus tour that hit all the major places. We also took a river cruise at night where I took this nice, although slightly blurry, picture of the Eiffel Tower. It flashes for 15 minutes every hour, but my pictures of the tower flashing aren't that good. Maybe I'll get better ones when I go back.

I haven't taken that many pictures in Barcelona yet. We are hanging out in the city all day tomorrow. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, I'm thinking about a bike tour. There is a really sweet architect here named Goudi. He makes buildings that look something like this.
He has a lot of stuff in Barcelona. It's really cool. That's all I can think of right now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I'll try to blog more often, but it's hard to find internet. Peace out.
