Hola!
What a day! It is 10 pm here, but the sun just set 30 minutes ago, so it feels like 7 pm.
All the kids were in the lobby at noon for a group trip to the beach. We decided against Sitges, as they found out it was a homosexual nude beach (mostly old men)…Evan and Ashli mentioned a Tosa Del Mar beach, but it was a different train and 15 euro round trip, so we decided to use our metro subway passes and took a red bus line to the beach….only to discover it was the same beach the bike tour led us to. So, we found a different beach 10 minutes up the yellow subway line to Porblenue (sp?) and found a less populated beach. Again, the water was warm and everyone was able to layout and rest for awhile…then the tummies started getting hungry and so they walked up the avenue and bought falafels.
After the beach, most decided to clean up, walk around Barcelona more and since they had spread out to about 5 groups, they wanted to try to get everyone together for dinner.
Saba´s cousin introduced them to a Tapas restaurant, but it was too expensive, so they found directions close to the hotel of a street of tapas, so we are all headed for dinner there (yes it is after 10 pm!).
Tomorrow we will take a train to Figures and discover the Dali Museum and castle on the hill.
From all of my experience (Ty) of traveling with kids. This is the nicest group ever. They are thankful, excited, motivated to see, relaxed about missed busses, or walking the wrong way for blocks, and the most respectful of tour meeting times. I am really happy with their attitudes and their longevity to last dancing all night and walking all day. (it is only the 4th day, but SO FAR SO GOOD!)
Haven´t heard any juicy gossip, but I guess, even if I had, I probably shouldn´t tell ya all….
