Madde day 3

2 freaks headed down town... I don't know how long time it took for us just walk from my house to Hospital Clinic..which is really close, but the shopping freak and the history/interior decorator freak could not pass a store without walking in... Yeah I'm talking about Madde and me.. First BIG stop was the market next to Hospital Clinic where I bought some small things then we found a store with only strings... The name is MOKUBA BCN

after that we really headed down town to perhaps do some shopping.. We walked and walked...and then finally we went in to the stores at Passeig de Gracias. We almost got lost in a mall, that I had never seen before, with small stores to both sides. But the store that really mad us laugh loud was:

Parents last day and Madde day 2

On Sunday the 6th of June my parents went back home to Sweden, but first we had some hours together....well it started with that Madde and me went to mum and dads hostel to leave some of my things that I had at home and that I didn't use... hahahah had to be about 15 kg that they took with them... some clothes (like 3 pairs of heavy pants) and some books... After being at the hostel we walked on Calle de Provenca (my street) but to the other direction towards north, so we past Casa Milá aka La Pedrera and then we walk all the way to La Sagrada Familia to see where dad lived 31 years ago on Calle Mallorca...


La Pedrera, Casa Milá

Dad in what might be the place he lived in before...

Madde, me and La Sagrada Familia..

Since it started to rain we escaped in to a small café next to La Sagrada Familia where we eat some toasts and had coffee. Then we headed back to my parents hostel so that they could take the metro to the bus to the airport.

My birthday and Madde day 1

I turned 25 years on the 5th of June. On this day my friend Madde came down to Barcelona... She arrived to Barcelona Prats and she took the bus to Urgell/Gran Via, cos that is closer from my place then all the way to Placa Cataluyna... I took my roller down the street to Gran Via and meet here at the bus stop. She had the tiniest bag ever with here... it's even smaller then the bag I have as hand luggage (she use it as here checked in luggage). well we walked home to fix the last things for my b'day coffe... I had invited all my friends in Barcelona, but as it was a Saturday morning in summertime, then most of the people still where asleep so the only one that came was Sandra. So the three of us sat on the balcony and eat homemade strawberry and chocolate cake... I got 3 pendants from Madde and some chocolate from Sandra..

Sandra with the cake I baked...

After eating together and talking for a long time Sandra went home and Madde and me went to Diagonal Mar to shop!!! First we went to the beach so that Madde could see some sand and then to the park between the beach and the mall, Diagonal Mar where we went to Primark, of course...

Mum and dad on visit

2 guiris has landed in town and it's my dear beloved parents, they are gonna be here from Thursday night to Sunday evening. They can never stand still so I can get a good pic so you just have to satisfy yourself with a "walk" pic.



after a walk in the town with a guided tour from me we went to MNAC at Placa Espanya to look at the Font Magic. And I did risk my life standing in the middle of the street to get a good picture of MNAC and the fountain.

My birthday with the girls

since the girls all went home before my birthday, we did so that we went to a Mexican restaurant on the evening before 3 of the girls where heading to Murcia for a short trip to some friends there. We eat good food and they gave me some presents :)

The End

has come. 4 months together and now the girls are going back home to Sweden and I will stay for one month more in Barcelona and then I will go home on the 2.nd of July.

Tattoo

finally I did it... after many years of talking about getting a tattoo I finally did as a birthday present to myself (since I knew that I wasn't gonna get any presents this year).

HERE IS THE RESULT:

Swimming

even if I already in the end of March went down with my foot in the water and been since mid February sitting on the beach eating ice cream, I never got a pic of me swimming in the water. But now it was finally time. My friend's little brother, that studied Spanish for some months at my school, and I decided to take a swim in the sea.

The work of a very inteligent friend

this is not the first time my classmate has to visit the hospital in Barcelona, first time he had a broken appendix and now he cut his fingers opened on a can.... He was cooking thai food for us... and I that can't see blood without felling nauseous

And Barça WON

.... the cup in Spain and then the city explode of the celebration...
