More posts

Well, I have posted more pictures. The lastest are of the Roman ruins that lurk underneath the city of Barcelona. Even though these pics are being added now, they are decently old news (becuase its hard to keep updating a blog in an internet cafe). But other than that Barcelona is still the intersting city it always was and still is becuase of its mix between modern and old. The nightlife is still a little too much for me to handle, becuase they party till´six in tha mornin´. Other than that my time on the internet has run out so i have to keep it short. Ill be posting more and more often in the future so keep your eyes peeled.

Still trying to keep the blog up to date

Alright people, my computadora is still busted but im spending multiple euro to have uniterrupted time on the internet to upload pics and keep the blog up to date. As you can see I have uploaded my pictures of Santa Maria del Mar and as you can see that it is a spectacular sight. (please appreciate the pictures because it took over a half an hour or 50 centimos just to get them up). Ill try to spend close to 2 hrs. almost every other day so i can solely work on the blog (which is what i just did). Also, Christi if you are reading this please keep in mind my computer woes when deciding on what type of grade I should get for the blog, like I said, I´ve been dropping a lot of money to do this. Next time I post you will be getting a free show of the roman ruins buried underneath Barcelona. After, you will see the first set of photos from field trip numero uno. This week long peregrenation led the group to Madrid, Cordoba, Granada, and Sevilla, but I will fill in all the stories that go along with the pictures when I get to those postings. For now enjoy the following paragraph where Ill ramble for a bit about the general inconveniences that Europe presents.
First, trying to ship items to the US is quite impossible. Finding a FEDEX, UPS, or DHL is like finding the lost city of Atlantis, and once you find it, youll probably forget where it is once you need to find it again. Second, Im not a big fan about the overinflated denomination that this socialist economy uses, the Euro. How can a government overinflate their currency just so their on top, right behind the GBP. But I will have no real beef once the economy comes to an extreme crash and the Euro falls through the floor faster than a 10 ton anvil. Lastly, I still want to figure out how Europeans take a three hour lunch break or siesta in the middle of the day and barely have any actual work days, but have the ability to shop, walk around, and spend money all the time. If anyone has an answe to this, please tell me becuase I want to take this information back to the good ole´ US of A and put it into practice.
Well, until I get the opportunity (and the dinero) to post another blog and a lot more pictures, Ill leave you here to ponder and some of the points I have brought up and gander at the pictures that I have posted.
Ciao,
