hola barcelona

once again the photos are a little bit random order, please bear with me. above is umm, a thing on the seaside with mat's head in the foreground. yes, it even rains in barcelona. below, is clement, jose, mat, me and note jose's beautiful 62MG top. go gang 62MG... (which is going to change yet again, as we are going to lose lucia to madrid...)

la sagrada familia by night... still to see it by day! next time for sure! below, matt, jana and myself with our tickets for the slides at the tate modern. we went to the slides today in tate modern which were heaps cool. level 4, for real the best slide, although i hurt my elbow on it. but i had a great day today with Matt and Jana. (i left school at 12:45pm and met with matt and jana at tate). we then had lunch over looking the thames and tried to go to the natural history museum to see a big squid, but the tour had closed, so maybe another day.
below, Jana coming off one of the slides, look at the smile on her face. yay!!! heaps of fun.

mat, me and clement sitting on a bench in a park. don't know where, somwhere in barcelona close to Arc de triumf. very close to where Jose lives. oh and there are the boys and the arc.

some of the mosaic in Parc Guell, i thought that was awesome and then below, the view from tres cruz at the top of Parc Guell.
mat and clem, you are like 5 times bigger and older than those girls. ha. i helped the girls up onto the play equipment and then we left. hopefully the girls were able to get down again without breaking their arms. we tried to help them get off, but they didn't want our help. oh well. not my fault!!
so, there are some photos of my last weekend and today... now for the news.

well, in the last week, i have been had the lovely offer from two EU citizens to marry me in order to keep me in the country. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), my visa is actually coming through, so i had to decline them both as i no-longer need it. oh and also they are too tall!!! ha. but it is very kind of them to be so selfless as to think of my needs and offer! since being over here i have discovered that i quite like shorter guys. like one or two inches taller than me... weird. mum, thinks i am crazy (especially seeing as dad is 6'2''). ok, well that is my randomness for today.

anyways, the weekend was Barcelona to see Jose, and it was great to catch up with him. as it turned out, Mathieu and Clement were there too. (both housemates). we had a great weekend, but instead of going out on saturday night, i stayed at jose's and slept, cos i was so tired.

i did still have a great weekend wandering Barcelona. We went to the beach, around the town and of course had tapas for lunch. then at night went to La Sagrada Familia and wandered the main shopping street. the next day, we went to have tapas again with Jose and dropped him at the Estacion Nord. Then we wandered and this time we went to the Parc Guell and umm, actually, i think that was pretty much it. Parc Guell was fantastic!!! I would love to go back there and spend some more time in the parc and then explore the city, maybe one day.

this week i am having a few nice nights out. one with marky mark to go and see Avenue Q and one with Lucia to see Chicago.

well, i think that is all for the moment. next stop, next weekend paris.

and tonight off for choir practice at church.
hasta luego.
