Sabado

Just waiting for Chase to get out of the shower so we can head off to dinner at a tapas bar the desk guy recommended here. We dropped our laundry off this morning at a laundromat that spoke no english. We sweated until we got it back at one in the afternoon. It´s so cheap here, compared to paris. This morning after we dropped the laundry we tried to go Palau Guell, one of the highlights I was looking forward to here. The interior is supposed to be fabulous, with Gaudi unrestrained by costs. the sign on the door said it closed in october of last yaer, not to reopen until 2006. We ended up going through the picasso museum in the gothic quarter. Went up the palatial catalan art muesum and walked around mount monjuic before heading back down to the beach. Tons of people out there today. The busses here are the best way to get around. Lots of the litte things remind me of singapore. The green, the sweltering heat, the trees, the ocean, and the clean, effciant smell of the bus interiors. Our metro passes we havn´t used more than twice, but they´re really paying off for the busses. Time for dinner!
