Barcelona........

Alright...I feel human again. Some bad falafel and a grueling night train conspired to nearly kill me. I arrived in Barcelona early-ish yesterday morning, but ended up spending all day and night in bed. I shall spare you the gruesome details, but it literally felt if a small, heavily clawed being was trying to break free from the confines of my lower abdomen. However, this morning I awoke a new person. I set off down La Ramblas ,the main pedestrian thoroughfare of the old section of Barcelona and meandered my way through a few neighborhoods, ending up at the Picasso museum. It has an incredible variety of his work, from the very early figurative and pictorial work, to the final pieces of his life and career. It really was amazing to see the evolution of his art. Felling all Picasso-y I had lunch at 4 gats, an old hangout of the man himself. Slightly pricey, but as it was the first proper restaurant meal I 've had in days...Totally well appreciated. Then it was off to the gothic quarter to gawk at some architecture and check out the cathedral. Good touristy day all in all and I plan on using all of my saved up sleep points on a well deserved night out...Have I mentioned how much I love traveling.
