Barcelona Part 5


Since we had been doing so much walking all over Barcelona one of our last days there we decided to just have a beach day. Just lay on the beach, rest out feet, and only walk to get lunch and dinner. In the morning it was still a bit too chilly and overcast to swim, but by afternoon it was warm enough. So lots of beach photos in this post









After lunch all clear and sunny. We had been going to the beach every day at some point and there are tons of ladies walking around trying to give people massages and guys with drinks and blankets to sit on. When it is sunny and busy on the beach they are everywhere and kind of annoying as they come by every two seconds. So on our beach day we sat a little farther down the beach than we normally had been, closer to some buildings that were back by the road, and in the morning we had noticed that none of those people selling things came over as far as we were. It was like there was an invisible line they didn't cross. It was curious, but that afternoon we found out why. We were sitting just below the police station there on the beach, which we didn't realize, and one of the vendors did come over that far and the police came out and took him inside to talk to him. So note to anyone going to Barcelona - sit near the police office on the beach and don't get hassled by the people selling stuff.












Inside the hotdog place we had pre-dinner



We found this hidden basketball court where there were lots of kids hanging out to eat out hotdog - in el Raval







The streets are pretty quiet after dark through the center of town. Only one more day left in Barcelona.

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
