I haven't blogged in a really long time but our first day is coming to an end and i just wanted share some stuff with everyone. I could have tweeted all of this i guess but I'm not really sure about how data roaming works or if purchasing 50mb of data for the trip would be enough. If someone cares to enlighten me that would be appreciated. Right now I'm on airplane mode and connected with wifi, so I'm assuming its free. (thanks Alex I really hope were not wrong)On to the pictures....

We flew KLM and I had so much leg room on this flight it wasn't even funny. Window seat to sleep against + no one in the middle sleep made for a really comfortable 10hrs. I actually stayed awake for half of it and caught up on the Harry Potter movies.


One we landed we met up with our hosts Xavi and Sandra. They took us to grab some grub and see Barcelona. Here it is very common to have a couple tapas aka small appetizer like dishes for your entire meal. Shaun went with Cod fish and i had pizza.


This is the Plaza Spania. You might have seen it in a couple movies. Actually a lot of Barcelona looks like a movie set. FYI that stadium used to be a bull fighting ring, but they don't like the idea of killing the animals anymore so it's no longer allowed.


Here are 2 other random shots of stuff i saw in the city.




Last time we were here we actually drove around and saw a lot of the land marks and historical architecture and stuff. This time around they took us to a lot of boutiques, but neither of us bought anything. We saw a lot of good finds for expensive prices. Maybe well go back on the way out.






I honestly feel like there setups shit on our setups as far as floor plans, fixtures, visual elements etc. Some of this stuff was really cool to see.

This was the front of an H&M. Kinda looks like the set from the JT video.


Halloween maybe, or maybe a statement.


I light the lights. It makes everything seem way more important and expensive.



Elephant print elephant. LOL


The new customizable Nike sweater. It has a camera that faces out and to display your picture in the face of the sweater. Sick...


Sprite bottle chandelier. Idk...


One stop get fresh shop. Grab a new fit downstairs get your hair done upstairs...


These have t-shirts in them. Reminded me of Dr. Mario and that whack ass death streak perk that's like juggernaut.


On the way back to the car we saw some pretty cool and interesting stuff. The walking lights switch here in a matter of seconds. Imagine walking across the street then the light blinking three times and in about two seconds switching to red. We had to run across and get out of harms way about three times. Just like in the PI the drivers here don't give a shit about pedestrians.

This sign is at a majority of cross walks and basically says that one out of every three pedestrian accidents result in death. Crazy...


There are tons of these around the city. You basically rent them and ride around the whole day. I wanted to do it but it was late and i was kinda spooked about the signs on the floor about people dying.


Back down in the garage we saw this breathalyzer. Not a bad idea and I'm pretty jealous we don't have them at home. Stick some change in, grab a straw, blow into the hole, see if you can make it home or not.


That's all i have for now. I'll try to stay current with it and update at the end of everyday. We're supposed to go to a spa or something tomorrow morning then teach a class each during the day. At night i guess its a fiesta for all those who came out to take class. Later folks, and thanks for reading.
