Warm and sunny...December in Barcelona

So, it has been a few days since I have written, but I really do like Barcelona a lot. There are three American girls and a French girl here at the hostel and we are all going out tonight. The city of Barcelona is beautiful and it has been hot and sunny. I have covered a lot of ground in the past few days and have learned all about Gaudi and the moderniste movement as well as the historic aspects, Olympic infrastructure and of course the marina and beach. It really is a lovely city. Also, the Christmas markets are really incredible. There are your standard Christmas crafts but also some really beautiful pieces that would rival anything found on West 4th or Granville Island, but for a cheaper price tag!

I changed my flight to Paris for Sunday. I was hoping to go on Saturday, but could not find accommodation. Tomorrow will be a vacation day and then on to the final stretch for my trip. I am very sad to not be going back to Florence as I really felt at home there. Believe it or not, I am pondering a move...
