After a few days in Paris, we enjoyed "yet another successful Ryan Air flight" to Barcelona. What a beautiful city! Sunny skies, palm trees, beaches, Gaudi architecture, and pickpockets EVERYWHERE. I heard horror stories and even witnessed a guy get his wallet stolen out of his pocket (I was watching through a subway window and couldn't have done anything to help). Pickpocketing is a bigger problem in Barcelona than anywhere else. The only thing more annoying than that in Barcelona is the fact that 15 billion unemployed people roam the beaches trying at all costs to sell you massages, flowers, soda, beer, tattoos, rugs, scarves, and various illegal yet smoke-able substances. Yes, it's a touristy town. We enjoyed the beaches, churches, and soccer games. It was fun learning and practicing some basic Spanish (mainly "No, gracias" to the beach peddlers every 3 minutes).
