Barcelona (or) Bust

Today was kind of a bust. Kind of.

As you may or may not know, I try to keep any complaining, whining, and negativity off the blog, off of twitter, and for the most part, out of my life. However, sometimes things just aren't great, and I wanted to let you all know that traveling, especially on the cheap, isn't all roses.

  

Last night two groups of girls staying in my room woke up around 4 and around 6am, and packed up a left. I did not sleep well. Hostel sleeping is just difficult.

I was feeling really sluggish, my knees and feet were hurting, and I just wanted to let my time be sucked away by the internet (you know how that happens, right?), but I went out and tried to get some sight-seeing done.

Falfel Yum

As I exited the metro and went on to Las Ramblas, all kinds of pollen, leaves, dirt, and who knows what else were blowing in my face. I was sneezing and feeling sick to my stomach and I just wanted to go home and curl up in my comfy bed. Not at the hostel. Instead I got a falafel.

  

But I proceeded forward following my walk and I saw the Cathedral.

  

And then it started raining. And the next thing I wanted to see wouldn't open for an hour. And I really had to go to the bathroom. So instead, I just went back to the hostel.

I feel like I totally wimped out but I'm hoping that tomorrow I will feel much better. I did have a really full day yesterday.

And nothing like some Boston(?!?) Pizza to cheer me up right? haha

Sounds like a challenging chain of events :( You can push through, promise! Hope the rest of the week is a bit sunnier.

PS -- The architecture photos at the top are just lovely.
