Feet Ache!

This is our last night in BarTHelona and tomorrow we will be flying to Grenada where they have the world-famous Alhambra. It´s been fun here and I will certainly miss it. Hopefully one day I will return.
Em and I are beginning to feel museum-ed out. We know know enough about Spanish artists (Picasso, Dali) and architects (Gaudi) in order to completely dominate Spanish Culture if it ever showed up as a Jeopardy category.
I´ve been thoroughly enjoying the Basque finger foods they have here and wonder if they have any in the States. I´m only reminded of a really bad experience as a restaurant called Basque in SF. That was Basque done wrong. This was Basque done right!
We had a little R&R FROM our vacation by going to the beach today. It was nice to relax.. and the topless women weren´t so bad…
(Em won´t read this because she´s on vacation with me HA HA HA!).
Things are warming up. Our hostel with shared bathroom isn´t as bad as I thought it would be. Interacting with Spanish people at the markets is becoming quite easy for us. I still have to study mucho portuguese before we get there. Ay ay ay.
Sometimes I wonder how things are going back home. How are things at work? How are my bank accounts? Has someone stolen my identity yet? What sort of electronic goodies is this other Peter Chang buying?
And then my mind moves on to other traveling concerns:
Is someone trying to pick pocket me? That person looks suspicious. Why are they looking at me like that? Can I get a breath of fresh air? I´m bombarded with cigarette smoke, exhaust or sewage smells. Why is this person walking so slow? Where´d Em go?
What a glorious mess it all is.
Hope all is well back home,
