"And we were dreamin' like the end was not in sight
And we dreamed all afternoon
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate...a gringo honeymoon..."


Hello!

sorry for the lack of punctuation, i dont understand this spanish keyboard.

all is well so far, it is 6pm here on monday and we are in a new hostel very close to everything here in downtown barcelona. it´s raining out today so we bought a few bottles of wine, some cheese, ham and fresh bread for a nice little afternoon meal. we also went to the museum of modern art and i was a little underwhelmed, but by now you probably know me and art dont mix all that well.

so far i have:

-participated in a riot after a barcelona match
-walked in the mediterranean sea
-drank wine and ate paella on the port of barcelona while watching the sunset (great picture by the way)
-went out until 6am with seven of the nicest portugeese guys ill ever meet ("justin" chant at 5am was captured on video, ask to see that one)
-ate clams, oysters and raw shrimp
-had the time of my life

overall this has been an amazing time and place, i have so many awesome stories and pictures that i hope to share with everyone. this trip has been such great timing for me on so many levels. the new sights and people i have met and seen have really given me such a great perspective! tomorrow we are taking a train to a small spanish town to spend the day at the beach, drink wine (shocking i know) and wander around the countryside. im in heaven.

I love and miss you all, but know that i am in a great place.

love,

justin
