So I think I left off with the first day. The second day I took off into the city on my own. I ended up seeing an huge cathdral. You wouldn´t believe how big this sucker was. I wandered around on narrow little gothic style streets for a couple of hours. Before I ran into some amigos, and we headed over the the Picasso Museum. I took a photo of one the paintings. It wasn´t allowed, but I snuke one. Punch me in the arm for it if you remember to when I get back. But hey, it wasn´t even a good picture anyways. But Picasso did in fact paint it. We grabbed a bite to eat in a restaurant downtown afterwards. Eh, the food was ok. I had some Sangria, which is a very tasty wine juice concoction. The two other guys in the picture are David and Jamie. Oh shoot! Before I met up with the rest of the group, I went down and strolled the beach of the Mediterranean Sea for a little while. Here´s proof. We also saw a cool traditional Spanish dance in a square outside another cathedral. The were dancing to the music being played by a band nearby. Not too much else happened that day. I went back to the hostel later on and met some international people, and we ended up hanging out. One of them was Bart, and he´s from the Netherlands. The girl in the photo is Andrea. She´s a fellow beaver. Her and a girl named Sara from our group got the hostel together.
The next day, Sunday, I went with Bart to the FC Barcelona soccer game. Apparently, the stadium is one of the top 2 or 3 biggest in the WORLD!!! Here are some pictures:
Game 1
Game 2
Game 3
Game 4
That pretty much comprised an entire day. It cost me 46€ to get in. Yikes...that´s about $50 or so. But it was so worth it. Barcelona won 5 to zero. Incredible.
Well, I went into the Sagrada Familia on Monday, and finally glimpsed the word of Barcelona from it´s spires. Here´s a couple. It was so cool to be inside that thing.
Sagrada 1
Sagrada 2
I´m just about caught up to the present. I just took more pictures today from an excursion we went on. I´ll get those up soon! For now, sorry my written details are so low, I´m pressed for time. I´ll up the blog detail later on...hopefully.

Hi Brother! Well, I've finally started to miss you. :) I'ts so awesome to see that you are having such a great time. I am very excited for you and all the amazing things you've seen and the places that you've been. You have so much more in store! I am very jealous but know that my time will come soon enough. I'm also pleased to see that you've decided to grow a little sole, patch that is. Very cool. If that doesn't win you some spanish sinorita's I don't know what will. ;) Love you!
HAHAHAHAAH Amy is so funny. "I finaly started to miss you!"
lol sooooo awesome. That stadium is AWESOME!!! seriously that's so sweet. What an awesome place to be at. You should have been the official soccer game streaker!! HA! i mean...what?
Well I must say I notice a common mistake in many of your pictures: except for the "soul patch" your face is entirely clean shaven...and yet here we are in the middle of No Shave November. That's right, things are starting to look a bit hairy around good ol' Antioch. In other news, as of right now, it is only 20 days till FEST begins - plan accordingly.
Jason, just thought you, of all people, would appreciate this:
