in the midst of my finals-induced blues, i decided to look through all my photos from my trip to europe this summer (really bad idea. now i feel even sorrier for myself). i got to thinking that i had a lot i had never shared, so naturally, given that it's finals week, this seemed like the perfect time to start sharing!
welcome to the happy list's new weekly feature:
take me back tuesday.
once a week, i'll be sharing a snippet of my journey through paris, barcelona, amsterdam, and normandy, until i'm all out of stories to tell and pictures to show.
sound good?
first up is our weekend in barcelona.
we didn't love the city a whole lot (because really, paris had already spoiled us for 9 days. nothing compares to the city of lights.) but we had a lot of fun and were able to see the entire city in three days.
la sagrada familia. constantly under construction.
while we were there, we ate a ton of delicious food (remember this post about my favorite restaurant?), drank plenty of sangria, and got plenty of sun, which, unbeknownst to us at the time, was just about the last sun we were gonna get in europe, as it rained in paris our last two weeks. we also took a bus tour and saw all the incredible architecture. and we spent an entire day at the beach! (below is just one of the many...characters...we encountered)
rule #5677 of traveling abroad: always find englishmen to buy you drinks. thanks, friends!
oh, please, take me back! i'd give just about anything to be back in barcelona, rather than stuck in berkeley studying for my final.
happy tuesday!
