19th - 22nd febbraio, 2009
This weekend was my first excursion into that big part of Europe that isn't actually Italy. On Thursday evening I set off for Barcelona. (How do you type a lisp? The Spanish call it "Barsthelona", which is much more fun to say) There, I met up with my good friend Jihane, and her friend Andrea. We spent Friday visiting a cathedral, Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, the Arc di Triomf, the Gothic District and the Picasso Museum. On Saturday, I made a trip up to Parc Guell, Gaudi's park, as well as his home. On Saturday evening, I stopped into another cathedral, and went out for Jihane's birthday, as well as Carnivale. Sunday morning I headed back; home sweet Rome. Due to a series of less-than-fortunate events, I missed my flight. (If RyanAir is in charge on Judgement Day, you are all going to hell, they are merciless) It ended up being a productive time in the airport, doing watercolor sketches and some writing. Here is a collection of some of the stuff I got down on paper this weekend...
