columbus day is a national holiday here, too. go figure.

except they don't really celebrate it in catalunya.

today, i went to a bday party for a friend's parents. yes, both his parents have the same birthday... different years. to be quite honest, i don't know what town i was in but i know that there was a giant paella. we went to a campsite in the mountains and it was just grrrrrreat.  enjoy some highlights from my day.  

a picture version of my day in so many words...
6:30AM alarm clock.
walk to trainstation under moonlight.
fresh baked pan.
stub my toe.
James Morrison & Chris Tomlin.
Churrería y café con leche.

Drive to the mountains.















it's not a party in the montañas until there's:
fútbol















paella (no words do this justice. i'll post the process another night)















mountains (we yelled and heard our echoes. i had never done that before)















a bit of the guitar and singing.
jump rope. throw back.
good conversations.
meeting new people.

crema catalana... from a box...

and a beautiful sunset behind the mountains on the drive home to top it all off.
some things are just better left off camera. this proves my theory.















what a beautiful day!

tomorrow it's off to my hood bright and early.
good night.

  2. columbus was from spain.. or italy then spain right? they are probably proud of him even though he was kinda a jerk. he was a big deal though. hope you enjoy my insight :) it sounds like everything is going well!
