Barcelona

We walked La Ramblas last night until two and were enlightened with the joys of Espana!
We´ve heard that Spain´s soccer team is still in the euro cup and plays in a final game tonight which means this city will explode in they win and implode if they don´t

we are staying here one more night and plan on getting a ferry to Rome tomorrow '

Pictures of Paris are to come ' this computer has no usb ports and the keyboard is in spanish which is easier than french! :)

Going to the beach today and grocery to stock back up'

max is the white cliffs of dover
Me and max have been on a crazy adventure! We are in paris now in a bathroom than has been made into a e-mail spot-

our luck has been great ever since we left the UK - air canada lost our baggage in toronto and so we had to buy a hotel in southwest london in an awesome muslim nieghborhood where everyone wears head wraps and speaks loudly - they were all so nice - but the money drains fast in the UK because everywhere you go you have to drop 50p in the bus and so forth and so on-

we got our baggage the next day and caught tubes all the way to Dover where we took the ferry to Calais - we waited two ours at this little bus stop where we met two english speakers (one from poland and one from california( cali was annoying but poland knew how to get us quickly to the right place and lead us all the way to Lille near the border of Belgium -

Lille was crazy and huge with many young people wondering around everywhere - huge old buildings all set to 45 degree angles - We slept in a tiny one bed place where the shower and sink were about two feet from the bed, fifth floor, no elevator, no AC - in short it was awesome!!

Today we got up mapped out a route by train to Barcelona and we are "stuck" in paris until 10 tonight - max just booked our room over the phone at place near la rambla so we are stoked for that -

i guess we'll pay the turkish guy who owns the web-bathroom and go see notre dame, have a espresso -
