Hanging Around Barcelona

After Southern France, the logical next step was Northern Spain.  I'm disappointed when I reflect on our decision making that we skipped San Sebastian, but we were anxious to make it to Barcelona to have a few days to unwind.  We planned for 3 days of  sitting on the beach, and exploring the famous nightlife - so that's exactly what we did.

 

 

 

I believe Chanelle and I had more fun on this jungle gym than the little kids!

It's such a unique bonding experience to travel with someone, especially your sister.  Chanelle and I had the opportunity to get to know each other in a whole new light, which is rare for siblings at our age.  Chanelle and I proved to be exceptional travel companions.  She had the laid-back personality that would force me to slow down my fast-pace way of living so I could take in my surroundings with meticulous attention.  In return, I offered her a little motivation to get up and moving in order to optimize time to see the absurd amount there was to be seen in every city. 


We both agreed that the "Feet Up" hostel we stayed in in Barcelona was our favorite.  We met the friendliest most out-going people there, which was perfect because going out on the town is much better in a large group.  The evenings were spent over a few beers in the common room playing card games and chess before venturing out to explore the night life in the sleepless city...
