Oh look at that... I had another great day!
Have I ever mentioned how much I love to ride bikes?! Well, I'll mention it again for those who don't know... I love riding bikes! It's this nostalgic activity that I associate with being free, much like being a kid, I can't quite describe it... it just feels real good. So today I went on a bike tour of Barcelona and it was great. We rode through the streets with our guide Jordan, who gave us many insightful historical points... not too many though, otherwise I would be mucho bored; my feeling about history is opposite to that of bikes. It was great to see Barcelona on my bike, the wind in my hair, the sweat dripping down my brow and the meandering bike lane that weaved in and out of the streets, and was sometimes non-existent. Our final stop at the beach felt painfully touristic, but it had to be done ... a nice closing.
After that I had a giant nap. I can't get enough of these. It is so hot that I am getting used to being disgustingly sticky at all times and when I'm in the shower I think of ways that I could manage to permanently live in that tiny, cool box in the bathroom. This puts the the "sweat box" (aka my apartment in Yaletown in August) to shame, absolute shame.
This evening, I met up with a roommate of mine for some tapas- tres bien. Although, it is so hot that I can barely manage one meal per day... my digestive system has gone on vacay, with the rest if Spain I suppose. This is sad because I like food, but my system just can't swing it- water and almonds for me!
