Alright! Well, here are a few photos for you of last Friday when Nima and I took a quick walk down Barceloneta during Sant Joan festival (Festival of Fire) which is equivalent only to the 4th of July festivals that I saw on the beach in Florida one summer. Except its louder because all the small kids play with the really loud "popper" ones which just make the sound without the fire. The beach was completely full of people, people swimming, people having fires, lots of drinking and partying of course but people of all ages.



These photos are from a little road trip adventure that we took outside of Barcelona (about 70km) to the NWish. A friend from class was having an art opening at a gallery here and so a group from the class decided to rent a couple of cars and drive up for the afternoon. Well... the best laid plans..... This trip went a little off track because we first of all got so incredibly lost trying to get out of the city and then by the time we got there it was quite late and then we had a very long, Catalan style dinner and then the drive home... which was also much longer than necessary. But we all know how I drive. I am very talented at saving time on the corners - not everyone has this special skill. Anyhow, in the end now that I have had some time to get over my initial frustration I'm glad we went because we did get to see some great scenery on the way out.





So guys, other than this I have basically been locking myself inside my house day and night to try and meet some of my work and school deadlines. You may or may not care to know that the jerk who I used to sit beside at work was finally canned (halleluja!) but now this means that I also have all his work to do! It's good, I like being busy but I will be happy when next next Friday comes and I will be able to go to the beach for an afternoon.

More to come when I can think straight.

Lots of Love
