This is applause that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends...

Helllooooooo!

I've had some coffee and I'm a little hyper, so bear with me! haha

Alrighty, CHOCOLATE MUSEUM TIME! Helena and I met up Tuesday for our excursion to God's gift to earth and it was awesome. Here's a list of all the awesomeness that went down that day.

1. I had no cash so I had to pay with a card, but to do that, I had to spend more than 10 euro. Which meant I HAD to buy chocolate so I could get into the museum. It was necessary. Sigh, poor me :-)

2. Our ticket was a chocolate bar. Enough said.

3. They had Don Quijote made out of chocolate.

4. They had the Pieta made of chocolate.

5. Most impressive and best of all? UP made of chocolate. Yep. It was fantastic.


We spent about an hour meandering the little museum and took lots of crazy pictures with things made out of chocolate. All in all, a success I should say. Then we grabbed some falafal and called it a trip :-)

Yesterday (Thursday) we went to see a concert at the Palau de la Musica. The ensemble performed pieces by Mozart and Hayden and it was a really beautiful concert. The only problem was that the people WOULDN'T STOP CLAPPING! I mean it. It was insane, we were all looking at each other like "why is everyone still clapping? It's over..." But it wasn't. They did about 3 encores (which were beautiful, but long) and I'm pretty sure we all wanted to yell "STOP CLAPPING!" by the end haha. But I digress, it was a really nice night and we had a lovely cultural experience that was definitely worth the incessant applause haha.

Today, we went to Montjuic (or sort of went to Montjuic...). Essentially, we got there, realized we had all already been to the castle, and decided to meander our way down the mountain instead of spending more money to see it again haha. We ended up walking through this trippy cactus garden that lead us down the mountain and out on to the main street. From there, we headed to La Rambla and went to buy some snacks at La Boqueria which is always so much fun to visit :-) After some delicious chocolates and fruit, we went to the Museum of Contemporary Art which was very strange, but pretty cool. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I actually LIKE modern art. I can definitely appreciate it and take it in cordially, but to me, drawing a line on a piece of paper and putting it an frame doesn't realllllly count as art. Just sayin.

Anyways, we started to head back to the Metro when we stumbled across the most fantastic bakery ever. We shared an encimada (a pastry that was this time, but isn't always, filled with pumpkin and covered in powdered sugar, aka HEAVEN) and gushed over the fantastic find we just encountered. Great times had by all. After that, I hopped on the metro and made it home for dinner :-) A very long but productive and fun day!

Well now I'm FINALLY caught up on my life! I hope you guys enjoyed! :-) Miss everyone, hope you're reading haha

Love y'all!
