Barca!



What can I say.....FC Barcelona EVERYWHWRE, kids playing football in the streets....and the smell of Paella amd Tapas everywhere!

So I had tix to the FC Barca game on the 24th, but it got switched to the 23rd due to the champions league game on May 27th. The compromise was a tour of Camp Nou.. the biggest football stadium in Europe...football fans...you would die...one of the highlights of this whole adventure...went a but overboard with Barca gear...
Las Ramblas is the trendy area which this adventure is based in...my first street hustling experince....got hustled in a street game for 20 euros! Booo..but it made me laugh.
This area is filled with shops, restaraunts and street performers like you have never seen.
very cool.
The street vendors were no match for my barganing skills...Thanks to my Mom...
I was like a man posessed at times !
The intoxication of Sangria and Tapas was too much for me...Sorry Italy...Spain you are the champions of my tastebuds.... too many to name but my favorites were Calamari, baby sqiuds, grilled clams with white kindey beans, Sqiud ink Paella and of course..mussels....



Nightlife was nice, clubs were much the same..but I did try some black Vodka which was dope...

Good news I made my flight to Marrakech, Morroco..the flight attendants on the flight were like strait out of latin music videos...I kept on expecting them to start dancing slowly and Enrique Iglacias to walk out with a guitar....anyway..the streets of Marrakech await me.....
