17 May last day in Barcelona

I am going to keep this short.
Ate, checked out of hostel, left our bags there, went to the train station to reserve trains to Nice, split up for 30 minutes before our planned lunch wiht Jae and Alicia at 1, ate what was basically a three course meal for 15 € in a place in the same plaza as our hostel, said goodbye, changed hostels, went to Picasso Musuem, took a boat ride out on the harbor, split up again, and went to the Magic Fountain area.

One of the hardest parts of traveling is never being alone. So, today I went on my own. I knew the city and know enough of the language to ask questions, get help, read... Oh its not normal spanish here it is Catalan which seems like French and Spanish mixed. They are very proud of their language.

Lunch was the best meal in this city: a green salad, really soft pork chops, and a traditional catalyan desert of ice cream, chocolate, and custard. And a litre of the house red wine for 4.2 €. We were all very full.

Tomorrow is a full ooooh 15 hours of trains and a layover. I traded my book ¨The Life of Pi¨ that i brought with me and already finished on travel days with a guy in the last hostel. my new book is about a virginian family owning slaves apparently. its a pulitzer prize winner and i can not remember the title.
