08 of 30 - VI - Epic Spain Pt 3 - Mount Montjuic

[aggienaut]

   LAST TIME on emosnail -- Our protagonist arrives in Spain!

Day 6 - Friday, May 15th - Kerri and I went down to the old part of town, the Gothic Quarter, and spent most of the day perusing the many quaint narrow winding streets. Saw a protest of some kind in front of a government building of some kind (and took pictures of the riot police that were standing by). The gothic cathedral was unfortunately undergoing repairs and covered with ugly construction equipment. Also visited Spain's Arc de Triomf (more like Arc de Pretty Good!). And of course we had some sangria and some tapas at various little bars.
   Tapas are just tasty little morsels you can buy at bars in the afternoon for a euro or two. They are a tasty idea that they should pick up elsewhere.
   That evening a group from the hostel was going to a club so we went with them. About maybe a dozen and a half people from all kinds of different countries went out with the group.

Day 7 - Saturday, May 16th - Kerri and I head out to Mount Montjuic, a hill overlooking the city. It has a castle on it and some museums nearby.
   Castell de Montjuic was pretty neat and I took a number of pictures.

There's tapas bars in NYC, SF, Seattle and LA and probably lots of other places in the States.

Tapas

Yeah but I mean, they're not abundant. I could do some research and probably find one somewhere within thirty miles of me but I'm saying its a good idea and more bars should do it, not just special novelty "tapas bars"

Okay, I haven't caught up with your entries yet - because they're long, goddamnit - but they're all safely stored in my RSS reader, and I'll comment on each one when I get a chance.

However.

I have a perfect shirt for you. An Illustrated Guide to Bees.

Haha nice.

Also though, note that all the juicy stuff is friends only and probably not on your RSS...

So are you blogging somewhere else now?

[pavel-lishin.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't really have the time nor the inclination right now.

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Pish posh, what are you doing that's more important than blogging?? :D

[pavel-lishin.livejournal.com]

Pishing and poshing, mostly. :(

I too plan on catching up on adventures in adventures in Spain and unlike my brother who codes and thread parent i will do so on good ole port 80. I might even remember how to comment at some point.

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Hahaha

You had your own adventures in Spain?

[bartgroks.livejournal.com]

Yup, definitely need more practice commenting.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Haha. Where did you go? for how long? are there pictures?

[bartgroks.livejournal.com]

Never been to Spain. I was trying to comment that I planned on catching up on your adventures in Spain just like Pavel but then there was epic failure.

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Clearly, you need to practice!

The better updates are friends-only on emo_snal though. That's where the juicy details are ;) if you're not friended by emo_snal already I'll do so next time I'm logged in on it.
