here in spain

arrived here in barcelona the night before last.... got in about 1130 at night, which i thought was no thing considering rumours ive heard of spain... after a bit of wandering and a long metro ride, i found the room in the hostel i reserved, only it was full of people sleeping. decided to go out for a bit of a walk to see what was around and got totally lost. the streets where my hostle was were completely deserted.... wandering inm circles at 1230 trying not to look exactly like a completely lost and vulnerable idiot. ended up all the way accross town. eventually ran into a spanish kid about my age who came up and told me i was very handsome, etc... yikes. anyway, he was nice and showed me the way back on the map. moved hostels and now i´m closer to town. second day here and it´s pretty awesome. place im staying at has tv, balcony, kitchen, the whole works! even a toilet seat (ive learned we take this for granted in the states...) been wandering around town, lots of great archetecture, everything in this place is decorated or covered in mosaic. very pretty city... think i´ll stay for a bit...
