So originally I was only going to stay 3 days here, but it has turned into over a week. I found a really amazing person named Anna to be my couchsurfing host, and I’ve been spending lots of time with her and her friends this week. As usual, we cooked a lot of meals together and I taught Anna and her sister Helena how to make my famous “pyrotechnic pineapple” dessert.
We are off tonight to some place further south to meet up wtih a group of friends and go for a day hike. Then I am off to the northern coast to indulge in the gastronomic delights of San Sebastian. I decided to stay in Spain as long as possible, because I am enjoying speaking Spanish so much. I booked a flight back to London on the 20th, then I fly back to the states on the 21st.
Here are some pics of Barcelona, including Gaudi’s masterpiece “La Sagrada Familia”, a beach couchsurfing party (my host Anna is to my right in the picture), a lot of dinner pictures, drinking Sangria on the beach, etc.
