I need to start this off by letting you know how impossible I've found trying to catch up with the entire week of blogs that I didn't post and to apologize for continuing to lie every time I post telling you that next time I will definitely have them up. I think I will have to just do a few at a time instead of letting you know about my entire week all at once. I am going to meet up with Koce, Munk and J. Whoadie at the Oasis hostel down the street but I thought that I'd update you on our plans for the week.
This evening we will be staying in Lisbon so that the other gentleman can check out the city. Tomorrow morning we will be heading down to Lagos for 3 nights. While there we will be staying at a regionally famous party hostel called The Rising Cock. Tuesday morning we will be catching a bus from Lagos back to Lisbon and taking a flight over to Barcelona where we will get in close to midnight. In Barcelona we'll be staying in a hostel called the Kabul Backpacker's Hostel - I've heard excellent things.
As I've done before I would love to hear any stories of your travels in Barcelona. Do you have any recommendations? Places to go? Friends I should drop by and see? I have a guide book that a classmate left behind for me but those are quite the tourist destinations. I look forward to hearing from you all. I need to scoot over to the Oasis now but I will check in to my room for the evening at 2 pm Portugal time and post about my evening last night and finally post about last Sunday (this is a good one for sure - stay tuned.) 'Til then,
Miles.

Don’t be afraid of the touristy things. In most cases these are the “don’t miss” items and well worth taking in. You did not say how long you would be in Barcelona but no mater … see the Sagrada Familia and any of the many Gaudi designed buildings that attract you enough (like maybe Park Guell) . A brilliant man that invented (I believe) thinking outside of the box. You will not see anything like this anywhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteThere are several open market avenues that are excellent for people watching if nothing else. One (I can’t recall the name) runs perpendicular to the water and uphill from the basin area.
Remember also that you are in Picasso and Dali country.
But then again I have not heard much of the local color in your postings. I would only assume that you haven’t had the time to describe the scenes that you are taking in. Perhaps you are having too much fun!
May I suggest that you find a small pocket notebook (the old fashioned paper kind) and jot down a few notes here and there that may serve later as a prompt to jog your memory as you write a more detailed log of your travels. (like on the long plane ride back home)
