Today began by enjoying the yummy breakfast offered by our hotel. We were free to roam the city of Barcelona by ourselves and find what the great city could offer us. We decided on enjoying the sun and sand along the beach between the Frank Gehry Fish and the W Hotel. I had made the mistake of sending home my swimsuit in London because I had too much weight in my suitcase. Oops! So now I had to find a swimsuit fast and on a budget. Well my story had a happy ending and I found everything that I needed along the path to the beach. I found a swimsuit, some swim shorts, and even a cute dress to wear while basking in the warmth of the Spanish sun. I was a very lucky girl and quite satisfied with my purchases. While at the beach we enjoyed a picnic and shared an umbrella that we rented for the price of six euro's for the five of us to share. We enjoyed the waves and the hot Barcelona sun. The day was a hot one and the sun warmed up the sand really fast. We would have to run to the water as we would take turns watching our belongings and then swimming in the water. Later, we ventured back to our hotel and made our way out for some dinner. We found an old fashioned diner restaurant called "Big J's". It was a taste of home with yummy hamburgers, french fries, and shakes. Yummy!!! To sum up the day, I am an extremely lucky girl to have swam in the Mediterranean Sea and will be suffering from the effects of the Barcelona Sun. I will be loading up on the Aloe Vera for sure!!!! Looking forward to one more day in Spain tomorrow...and then back to the states. Its amazing how fast five weeks can go by.
