A weekend spent with visitors and flat outings supplied us with a massive amount of 'Barcelona' entertainment. Back to the old school days, at an American/ Barcelona take on a diner playing a 'finger game'. One problem - we left it up to the french to do the inside, which meant we got to hear, 'you come in France' read out to us - not quite the same as an English version used to be. What you learn about coming to a different country and spending time with people also from other countries, is no matter how your cultures differ, there are always parts of your childhood that are the same. 














That evening we spent the second time at a local jazz bar. I found that watching the people that were so totally engrossed in the music, they were in a different world, much more fascinating than actually listening to the players - despite the fact that they were incredible. I never would have chosen to go to a jazz bar, yet now I have been I would personally request to go back again. The experience you get is one that you cannot describe..and one I wish I could share with other people. Walking out of those doors and back home in the pouring rain didn't feel like an effort, as the experience you had uplifted you to the point where you just didn't care. 

Something I did care about - washing!!!!!! Four hours later and we still had wet clothes. That four days later are still wet and smell of damp. Most boring thing I have ever had to do- and it most definitely makes you miss your mummy ( even though I do miss her for other reasons too)!! As I know she is following this blog! 


The ways of Barcelona are very different from home, and seeing as we were in a foreign city on the side of Mediterranean, we decided, for some silly reason that we might actually enjoy swimming in the sea ON THE 31ST OCTOBER! Despite the purple ankles we had an amazing time braving it, and now I will able to say that I have been in the sea on the last day of October. Even though I will never be doing this again, I shall always be able to say that I have. 

I have been so lucky to experience this amazing opportunity and therefore I have said to myself that I shall try to experience every opportunity that barcelona offers.
