Today was just as event-full as yesterday...started off with a walk through the market. The market is very neat...everything is fresh and open to view and buy right in your face. Had brunch there which consisted of a Bocato (artisan bread with cheese and chorizo sage...very good) and a mango/orange juice (freshly squeezed right in front of your face). This meal was ONLY 4 EUROS!!! Afterwards we went on a bus tour for the ENTIRE DAY! We traveled around all of Barcelona on a two Decker style bus and actually got off and walked around on a few of the sites! Took A WHOLE LOT OF PICTURES today and some videos. Visited everything from Sagrada Familia (most influential and famous work of architecture in Barcelona and extremely important to Spanish architecture) to the 1992 Olympic stadium and event complexes...to Camp Nou (where the FC Barcelona football club plays). Then went and bought my first groceries in Spain from Cortes Ingles (there version of a walmart). The Cortes Ingles was absolutely incredible...I have never seen so many people in a store at one time...it was very confusing and discombobulating to shop there, Hardly anyone spoke English and all of the products were in Spanish/Catalan and the amount of people there made walmart on Christmas eve or black Friday look vacant! Not to mention the store has about 4 levels (supermarket/grocery on bottom, clothes and other departments on the other floors...HUGE STORE)...but for some reason I enjoyed it a lot cannot wait to shop there again.
SUGAR!!!
The necessities!!! hahahaha
I meant sausage not sage...it was chorizo sausage!
