Barcelona beach:

More tiring than relaxing.  I stink at tanning but Parker is an expert.  You have to lay still in the hot sun.  I want to be in the water. 

Btw: all Spanish beaches are basically optional topless.  Even if not technically nobody says anything.  If that sounds cool to you, remember that the old Spanish ladies sunning themselves on the rocks enjoy letting their puppies breath as much as the young hotties.

Salida man

The man on the exit signs all over Europe looks really frantic.  

Magic fountain...?

Way behind since my phone was stolen!  Coming to you from my Mom's phone now. :/  

Anyways!

So Parker and I are like let's just go see a movie the first night in Barcelona.  And my mom suggests we go see this 'magic fountain.' And Parker and I are thinking 'whatever, pfft magic fountain.' 

BUT! If you've ever seen a water and lights show in Vegas or something multiply that by a thousand and maybe you'll come close to how astoundingly awesome this dazzling spectacle of leaping water and gorgeous colors and music was.  It performs at about 9 pm-11 pm Thursday-Sunday.  

The fountain was built in one year in 1929 by over 3,000 workers for the Great Universal Expedition. 

 

We highly suggest visiting this fountain if you're ever in Barcelona.  And don't get too close unless you want to get soaked!

My phone was stolen in Barcelona :(

Making the best of the rainy day

Tapas in Barcelona

The waiter gave me a 'special menu' with pictures. ;)

Tapas were interesting.  At least it was a different experience. :)

Why is everybody walking towards us???

As soon as we reached the beach in Barcelona it started raining. :/
