First Night in Barcelona and subsequent days

I arrived after a considerably long trip (41 hours), in Barcelona, on Halloween eve. I took the metro and met the lovely Rana and Başak. They took me back to their apartment and we immediately started to brainstorm costumes. This is what we came up with:

Van Dyke and Foo Man Choo went out with Monsieur Devo (french mustache not here pictured) We had a wonderful time trying to remember how to order in spanish all the while sporting sweet mustaches. Rana and Başak had class so I spent the next few days just exploring.

I checked out La Rambla where you can get

your bag stolen for half the price of a normal mugging.

The shoreline where you can take an expensive gondola

over the harbor so you just might find Nemo.

Along the Rambla del Mar. Ohhh pretty boats.

People feeding Seagulls near the Christoper Columbus monument.

My arty shot of the day. A local resturant

with the menu in Catalan.

So far I love it here. The people are wonderful. The food is fantastic (althought I make most of it at home) and the atmosphere is one of life, art and excitement. I would love to stay indefinitely.
