Parc Guell

Here is Parc Guell. It is really gigantic and kind of in the mountains, there is even an elementary school hidden within it. Lots more Gaudi stuff here yada yada yada.



Yesterday we found a Flea Market in Encants which is about 7 minutes walking distance from my house. There were vendors selling keychains, old jewelery, vintage sunglasses, fabric, clothing and even used pornography. A lot of the people just had blankets laid out with tons of junk on it. My favorite was this vintage clothing booth. It was set up like a really tiny hallway but very well organized. It had some of the most amazing vintage clothing I've ever seen, a little pricey but the stuff is so crazy its almost worth it. The man operating the store was really funny too. He didn't seem like he wanted to bargain and would immediately tell us if something was too small before we could try it on. I held off on any purchases though. Most of the junkier items sell for a euro I found a sweet leather jacket that was like 40. It kind of smelled like cat pee there though and I saw the tiniest women I have ever seen in my life.

Anyways, I'm coming down with a cold from going out so much. We went to this place called La Champagneria where they have 2 euro bottles of champagne before five. We went after five and then they only have glasses but it's only .60 cents for a glass. The catch is with the times, after 10:30 they don't serve anymore champagne.

School starts tomorrow, finally, and I am happy that I will have something else to focus on. I'm excited to start my spanish classes. I think I get by just fine and I can have pretty nice broken spanish conversation with people but I'm really no where near where I should be. Most people speaken at least a little English, not the older people though mostly just the young ones.
