Oh i guess you can't really tell which guy.. I meant THIS guy:
We learned a lesson on our trip, and it was NEVER to fly through Heathrow Airport, for any reason, ever.
Our connection flight to BCN was cancelled, so the airline put us up in a hotel for the night, and put us STAND BY on a flight at 7 in the morning. But they didn't tell us we were stand by, they told us we were booked on it for sure. Mind you, this is the DAY before Christmas. At an international airport.
This is the hotel room.
Of course, after we didn't make it on the 7 am flight, so we waited at the airport (not in the main part, cause since we didn't have a boarding pass we had to wait in the shitty entrance part, where there were people sleeping all over the place and unorganized lines of angry people traveling for Christmas to be with their families they probably don't even like that much anyway)...
This is jonny really bored at Heathrow.
We did Sudoku and Word Searches till our eyes popped out of our heads,
that is... for NINE hours.
We finally got on a plane around 3pm stand by, and found out 5 minutes before the gate closed. We ran through security and ran through the airport and made it on!
Oh yea, but then once we got to Barce, my luggage was lost... for 4 days.
But anyway.. We met Jonny's family and family friends in Barcelona!
We stayed with them in an apartment, this was our room
Oh yea, at every place we stayed i took a picture of us on the balcony (if there was one) to show the view. Our heads got in the way a lot, but that's ok. what's more important is to see a picture a jonny and me. right?
These are Jonnys two sisters Emmy and Scottie, and that guy is Emmy's boyfriend Max.
and look at this cool thing
We went to Antoni Gaudí's, Park Güell and it was really cool.
This is Jonny's dad Vic. He's nice and kooky.
Jonny's mom Sue is the best.
Oh, and his sisters are the nicest girls I think I've ever met.
These stupid idiots were using this GIANT Twister game as a yoga mat or something... It could have been a fun thing, but they didn't utilize it correctly. idiots.
We took a break and all got these sandwiches.
But seriously though, how cool is this place?
Jonny's family left and we were on our own. Oh yea, still no luggage.. and couldn't go shopping to buy things because stores were closed for christmas and then for some saint's day.
This was the next apartment we stayed at, right off Las Ramblas.
The bed was up this sketchy staircase, as a loft but the ceiling was so low you couldn't stand up or you'd hit your head. ugh.
kitchen
bathroom
so i guess this place has been yuppified and hipster-fied. and it was so crowded everyday. hectic.
We went to this falafel place, and Jonny said this picture would make Dylan jealous, because he's eating the good falafel and he's at MACBA. Dylan never told me if the photo made him jealous or not.
This is the supermarket. We waited a half hour in line each visit.
We made dinner every night in that apartment. And we stuck to the basics:
Pasta and Salad.
Pasta and Salad.
Pasta and Salad.
Pasta and Salad.
Pasta.
and Salad.
We went to places and saw cool stuff.
We represented Hart Keap.
Okay the coolest thing was this Park.
There was a Labyrinth.
A Canal
A Waterfall.
A Swan.
A Jon.
A Som?
It was really quiet and pretty and nice there...
This was a beautiful church.
All things Barcey, All things B.
BREAKFAST.
BOOBS.
BOARD.
BORED.
BORDER.
BAGELS.
BRUNCH.
BALLOONS.
BOOZE.
BEER.
BIRDS.
BAGGAGE.
BROTEST.
BOOOMMMBB.
A HORSE.
I went to the Market place one day. It was fun and crazy and gave me anxiety all at the same time.
This place looked really good and everyone was gettin lunch. So i got some too..
I shoulda known no prices written on the menu meant 10 friggin euro for a salad.
It was really gooood though.
I got outta there with a nice bowl of fruits..
Oh yea New Years, duh!
There were 9 million people, and they all congregated about 5 feet from our apartment.
Police forces tried to control the crowds.
But that didn't stop us.
The greatest part about New Years Eve was looking down from our balcony at the apartment. We saw about 6 people fall and 20 people pee.
This is the fourth place we stayed. A hostel in the Gothic area of Barce.
This balcony picture we couldn't get quite right.
Our last night in Barce before we went to Amsterdam we had Paella.
And jonny accidentally ordered really huge beers.
We raced. He won because he drank his beer AND mine.
It got cold, and Jonny is a gentleman.
They liked us there, and gave us free shots of some really cool tasting stuff.
AMSTERDAM
Ok, so the story with the picture above is.. we were walking along and this place had a sign that said "COME LOOK AT OUR CANNABIS GARDENS." okay.. CANNABIS GARDENS sounds like there would be a lot of plants and a really cool garden. They charged us 3€ each and we went to see the "gardens" which was a couple lousy plants. RIP OFF.
Jonny accidentally ordered the way too large size again when we had coffee.
This is in our room.. After a visit to the coffeshop.
We took a boat cruise around the canals...
it was a rip off.
There's a bunch of little places with fried food.. we had a cone of french fries everyday, with different sauces on them. One question though: WHY do Europeans like big glops of MAYO with their fries? I want to know because it makes me wanna vomit.
Ok one cool thing about the canal cruise rip off tour thing was that we could see all the house boats in the canals. They are soooo cool
Another rip off was the Anne Frank House.
Oh ok see that big green building? This place was pretty cool, it's the NEMO and it's just like the Exploritorium in SF.
There was a whole floor for TEENS!!
One day we walked around and i took a picture of the whole scene.. Jonny told me "they don't like it when you take their picture" I didn't know who he was talking about, but I looked a little closer and saw prostitutes in window displays.
Gord says I take street credit away from Jonny. But I don't even care.
He's the cutest boy I ever saw.
