I think this is funny.

this makes me laugh for no reason.

New Art Project.

My best friend's birthday is on July 31st. And she's always wanted some type of art thing from me. And since she came to visit me in Spain, and we went to Valencia together for the Las Fallas festival (to celebrate the carpenters of St. George as we watched floats on fire burn for hours) - gave me this idea. So I panted her the Valencian flag in sort of a distorted like fashion, representing fire. Lexi and I both decided that the 4th of july here in the states might be forever ruined... because the firework show after all the float burning- is unbeatable. But. I'm going to present this with her on Sunday since she'll be out of town on her birthday.

Lexi and I at ohh I don't know. 7 am. An all-nighter in Valencia. Ohhh, soo many stories from just this one night. So great. Oh, the memories. The night consisted of watching fireworks, fire, missing 2 trains, staying up all night, eating at mcdonalds at 3 am, a free nepoleon, and a 3 1/2 hour train ride home to Tarragona. And then it was St. Patricks day. So great. Hope she likes it.

Adventure Exploration Day.

I found the shirt I was looking for in Barcelona today. And I'm ready to give everyone a great big hug when I get home.
Arc d' Triomf

... statue of liberty?... kind of?
















Had I had a friend with me today, we probably would have gone in.
A weird plant. this reminds me of something someone would draw with colorful ball-point pens.

Catalan makes me laugh... or perhaps I'm just immature... but 'fart' here in Catalan actually means "fed up." So.. in a way, that makes it even funnier, because people get fed up when people fart... or something. But this sign says, "We are fed up with false promises of the market." -Born- is the name of the market.
The Picasso Museum.





I've noticed something about Picasso. He paints a lot of really ugly people. But besides that, what a wonderful artist. It amazed me... the famous painting Las Meninas by Velazquez in the Museo Del Prado (Madrid-- which I will be seeing in a few short days!!!!!!!!!!!!) -- Picasso took different parts of this painting, and created about 100 different paintings out of it, putting everything into his own style. It was cool. I stood infront of movie screen thing, and you could see two pictures at once one right on top of the other, it would zoom in in certain parts of the painting, and then it would show what Picasso did with this part of the painting in his own style. It was amazing. There were like 2 rooms just from different renditions. It was awesome.
Hahaha. So.. I came to Barcelona by myself today for two reasons. #1- I wanted to find the shirt that I found (pictured above, that is the Catalunya flag)-- and #2- go to the Picasso museum. Mission accomplished. that was a good way to end Barcelona, my last time being there for... who knows how long... maybe forever? Haha. I feel like I've seen enough of it.. But I love it, I do, I have just been there.. a lot. Maybe I'll be back when the Sagrada Familia is completed... but by that time, I'll be about 40 years old... weird.

I am starting to feel a bit giant over here... for more than this reason. Haha! But Romanian food is REALLY good. (Laura is from Romania and her mom cooked some delicious food that I had to eat). No worries, I've started running again-- along the coast of the Mediterranean :)

A real and true medieval town.
