Barcelona...

...is amazing!
I absolutely love it here!
We ended up passing out for a good amount of time and then went out to grab some food and drinks and came back to get ready for the night. We got all dolled up and headed out for the night. The first stop was a tap bar. Basically every table is set up with a tap that goes to a keg. There is a screen that has the counts for all the tables of how many litres have been drank by each party. The screen definitely creates a need to race to see how much each table can drink - but we didn't feel like racing. So we did a little bit of drinking before we headed to this nightclub called Opium. Luckily the girl we are staying with knows this kid who can get us in for free. He told us a word to say, (can't tell you it's a secret!). When we got there girls in front of us told us they had an in and that they would take us in with them. But the bouncers didn't let them in so as I walked up I just looked at them and said the word, no problem. They let us in right away. The club is right on the beach and it was amazing. I didn't buy anything to drink there - it was ridiculously expensive, like 10 euro a drink. No thank you. We danced and had a great time until the wee hours of the morning and then Genna and I left together because we were echausted. We got back around 4:30, Lizzy and Allie followed at around 5:30, 6ish. We didn't wake up till about 1pm. We needed the rest.
Once we were all ready and awake we decided to head out to a...of all places, Mexican Restaurant called the Black Rose. It was actually really good. I liked it a lot. Plus the decorating was fantastic!! After that we walked around a bit, checked out some stores and shopping areas, and then headed to the beach. It was a little windy and therefore a bit chilly, but the sun was shining and the ocean looked beautiful. It was so gorgeous.
Later on we went home and changed and then headed to a Tapas bar - a place where you order a whole bunch of appatizers and share. It was so delicious! We drank cava sangria and munched on fried asparagus, sausages, patatas bravas (kind of like home fries with sauce), a salad, and some other really good appetizers. After eating we met up with Allie's friends and headed to a bar called Chupitos. Chupitos is a shots bar. On the wall there was a huge list of all the shots that they served. There were so many, and the names were pretty hilarious. There was one called a Monica Lebinski. I'll let you use your imagination on that one. We started off with one called a Boy Scout. Get your headed outta of the gutter it was totally PG. They give you a marshmallow on a stick and light the bar on fire, so you roast your marshmallow and then stick it into the shot, take it out, put the marshmallow in your mouth and then take the shot and it tastes like a s'more. It was declicious! But the best part was that Allie has an amazing friend named Harry, who didn't let us girls pay for a thing. Every shot was paid for, and he was just one of the most genuinely nice guys that I have ever met. It was fantastic. We headed to Las Ramblas, where there are a lot of bars. However, we didn't realize that it was extremely late/early in the morning so places weren't allowing people in anymore. No problem. We were already by the beach so we decided to go sit on the beach and hang out. On our way there we met 3 guys from BC and invited them to join us. Lucky for us, the Spanish people sell beer on the beach (illegally) all night and morning long, so the boys bought a few and we just all sat and talked on the beach. At one point my friend Lizzy said that we should just stay and watch the sunrise. It sounded like a good idea. We hung out for awhile, Lizzy and Genna were hilarious and at one point had a "fight" where they basically spit random movie lines back at each other in a way that made it sound like they were fighting to anyone who doesn't know them. Allie decided to leave around 5 or 6 because she had gotten really cold. But we wanted to stay and hang out for a bit more, and watch the sunrise on the beach in Barcelona. You only live once right?! At around 7:30 am we decided the sky was light enough for us to consider it "the sunrise" and cold, tired and hungry we parted ways and Genna, Lizzy and I took a cab back to Lizzy's friend Allie's apartment. Lucky for us the door to the complex was unlocked, but we did have to ring the bell to her actual apartment. Luckily we didn't wake up her roommates.
Ok I'm exhausted. I'm sorry. I'll add more later.
