My body is weaken and my mind wonder windlessly. However, it has been more than a month since I last wrote something. So here I go...
I feel very fortunate to live in Geneva, Switzerland where traveling to other Europe country is short and easy. Is basically in the middle of Europe. This evening I am going to give you an update on this past weekend in Barcelona, Spain.
This trip I decided to fly instead of driving and taking the train. Once I arrived in Barcelona airport I felt so comfortable. Spanish was written and spoken everywhere! Si yo entiendo, con fin! I was able to use my Spanish at the tourist information box. I asked in Spanish where can I take the bus to Karma Hostel where I was staying. The lady was very helpful. She provided me with a map and circle where I can take the bus and need to be drop off. Within 15 to 20 minutes I arrived in the center of Barcelona.
With my Spanish ability,it was easy for me to find the hostel until I was in the building. I was able to find it from a small sign on the left hand side wall. A very friendly Catalan man assisted me and show me around the hostel. Right away I felt comfortable talking to him. The help information person who became my new best friend kindly show me on the map of places I could visit and see for my first day, which was last Thursday. I took his advice since he is a local native Catalan in Barcelona. I walked around the barrios (neighborhood)and was a pleasure seeing the structure of each individual building as I wonder around.
