Themes, and a Good Weekend Too

I am in the process of coming up with an overall theme for the blog. I think it will be Moorish influence on Barcelona, with unrelated updates pertaining to biking and food.

The weekend has been nice. I went to the FC Barca game on saturday and sat very close to the field, enjoying the 4 goals scored right in front of me. The game ended up very lopsided but it still was a very enjoyable game. Sunday brought a car ride down the coastline about 100 km to Terragona (with a few detours). I rented a car at the airport and went with two room mates, Scotty and Chris, for a drive. the views were incredible, and the final destination was a seafood restaurant that served excelent paella. The retour route was incredible. We took the coastal road, with hairpin turns, too much traffic, and a light drizzle to top it off. Concrete barriers were the only things preventing out car from toppling over a 60+ foot cliff. It was incredible.

Barcelona Es Bona

Made it to Barcelona last week and it is awesome here. The city is as beautiful as people have informed me. They have the new, the old and the other all over the city. The apartment is nice, though small. There is a bakery, a cafe, an internet cafe, a laundrymat, a convenience store and a grocers within two blocks. Also, we live two blocks from the Arc de Triomf and the corresponding metro and commuter train stops. School is about two or three miles southwest of the apartment. Studio is near many nice touristy areas including Placa Catalunya and Las Ramblas.

On a side note, if anyone knows how to post pictures please let me know. I might just post things on flickr and link them to this page.

I know I took a vacation from writing but maybe this will jump start the news that I'm not quite sure is all that entertaining.
