Saturday was another awesome day, but when your in Barcelona how can it not be. After getting Jed and Ryan up, we all started to get ready, while Tim went for a run around the city. He says that there are no runners in Barcelona, and people were looking at him like he was crazy!
Once we were ready to start the day, we went out to breakfast with two of our bunk mates. I think everyone got a Ham and Cheese sandwich. It's reminds me of Paris so much, how everyone is always eating ham and cheese baguettes. It was pretty delicous, and after lunch we started doing some tourist things!
We first walked to La Rambla, which is one of the main streets. All along it our street performers, and "human statues". It was funny because they're were so many human statues, but only like 3 of them were popular. So there would be huge crowds around some and none around others, and whats a human statue without a crowd! We also visted a really cool produce market, where Ryan decided he needed to purchase a kilo of cherrys.
At the end of La Rambla we connected with Port Ver. It's really pretty, but not much to do. Apprently they built tons of real estate on Port Ver right before the real estate bubble, and now they have a vacancy rate of 75%, crazy I know. From Port Ver we walked up to "Old City" which is like it sounds, the original part of Barcelona from when the Romans first founded the city. It was really cool, the streets were so windy, and narrow. We even saw some of the orginal city walls. I think it's awesome to walk around a part of the city with so much history, because it's definetly not something you can see in the States!
