title: The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains
So I am back from Barcelona!
It's such a great place. Except for a little unsavoury encounter, the trip was cool. The weather was really nice and fine and sunny with blue and cloudless skies, although it rained on one day and got extremely cold towards the end, and the architecture and scenery there are amazing! There is this intriguing guy called Antoni Gaudi whose architecture was so modern that it's considered one of the most modern now though it was created a century ago. Wait till you see the pictures of his AWESOME architecture. Yes I mean really awesome; this word is used too loosely nowadays, even by myself!
The food was SO GOOD I tell you. No, that's an understatement. I looked forward to every meal and the food never failed to amaze me. I especially loved the tapas (that's something unique to the Spaniards). It's food that comes in small portions, supposedly to accompany the drinking of alcohol. And the prices were worth it too. Without all this good food the holiday would totally have shagged me out! I was already drained as it was after every day!
Haha another thing was the language. It was so hard to communicate with them. And then you go to those restaurants, look at the menu and go, "Um. I don't understand anything here! How'm I gonna order?!" HAHAHA. Luckily the waiters/waitresses could somehow explain, although sometimes not so clearly. It had its advantages - I got to/had to try new stuff! (: I tried seafood (which is normally a big NO-NO for me ew) and pig's trotter :O And anyway, I think cured meat is horrible!
Ok. I shall let the picture speak for themselves when I post them soon! I took close to 2000 with my camera! And my dad, mum and sis each have a camera too so I shall post nice ones from theirs as well :D
Spain's a beautiful place!
