Vive le France

First, Barcelona. Holy god in heaven, a constant party. Went to sleep after 5 pretty consistently. Good Lord.

it was actually great to see Cook, he's doing great... I think he's really come into his own in College. His friends were cool too, I stayed at his flat for the first few nights, then treated myself to a dope hotel down the road. Dal stayed with Mark at his really awesome flat a little further away in the city. Basically, we woke up late, enjoyed a late afternoon walk around the city, grabbed food and naps, then continued the party. Chaos.

One hilarious and disturbing story from Barca- So Cook took Dal and I to Park Guell, the incredible city park designed by Gaudi (Gaudi was this incredible architect who basically went to town on Barcelona... hes responsible for Barca's really modern look and totally artistic image). Anyways, we're up on top of this mountain looking out over the city, when Dallas says "Hey guys, I could swear there is a naked guy in the bushes right over there". We all kind of laugh at him and brush it off, when a minute later, sure enough a fully naked man walks into plain view out of some bushes in the park. Then, he proceeds to start playing with himself aggressively in front of everyone there while we all stand there with our jaws dropped. Suddenly he seems to notice that we all see him, and he darts back into the bushes. I managed to get one picture of the guy, its pretty hilarious... just like bigfoot style. See if you can spot it in the pictures I uploaded today.

Anyways, so after a raucus night of partying last night, Dal and I woke up at 7:30 (yikes) and caught a bus to Avignon in France. Unfortunately we were both so sick and hungover from the night before and lack of sleep that we didn't get to see much of the city, just a cool little christmas market that was set up with lights and what not. Maybe we'll see some more of the city tomorrow before we hop on the TGV to Paris.

PS my french is terrible, but people speak arabic here a lot so that works.

anyways, just dropping in, check the new pics and vids and stuff
