El Clasico

well over this last weekend Blakely and i ventured back to Barcelona one last time for probably my favorite trip so far. 

we got there really late, went to a bar called Obama (their shirts had pictures of africa on them...saying something?) it was really great, they had live music and some old people dancing their hearts out

the next day we slept in of course and then went walking in barcelona, found my favorite candy shop and ate lynch on top of corte ingles which looked out onto a gorgeous view. later that night we went to a flamenco show which are so cool (i saw one in granada during high school however this was blakely first time) i think they are so amazing and show great aspects of the gypsy culture. 

the next day was the best... in the morning we did a vespa tour around the city and up the mountain to look out over the city which was breathtaking, its an amazing city im clearly obsessed. we got to eat lynch in this little restaurant owned by a catalan family, and it was a locals only place with the best food i have eaten while being here. 

that night we went to el clasico (or the barcelona madrid game to non soccer people) coolest thing ever! my dads friend got blakely and i some great tickets and it was a blast. im not a big soccer fan (they lay around on the ground WAY to much) however the ambiance was something i cant explain. they are like yankees red sox fans times a thousand. they love their team, even after they lost they were cheering and singing their anthem i loved it. we went out after that and everyone was still so excited, we walked past madrid fans and had a great conversation with them about how barca was still the best. 

it was a great weekend and got me so excited for when my family comes. however i cant believe that is almost here...where have these five months gone?
