Marketplace Sign
Well, apparently, Blogger has instituted a new system that thinks my posts are spam, and is, therefore, blocking them from being posted unless I submit a word verification with each post. I was going to share why this picture is important to my trip, but since Blogger has decided to be a bitch and make me do this the hard way, I won't bother. Any posts made from here on (chronologically, that is) will be simply the picture and no little description of it. I will probably do that for any future pictures I post here as well.
First flickr and now Blogger. Who's next to disappoint me with their services and lack of decent communication as to when said features are implimented and what not?

It's actually very common for people in Barcelona to get their breakfast at the market on their way to work. Maybe that's why their economy is doing so much better than us right now. Or maybe that is why most of the Spanish look so damn hot because they eat so well!

There's something you won't see in the Farmer's Market, a bar serving your choice of alcohol during the heat of morning grocery shopping.

Your one stop spice shop found in the heart of the market in La Ramblas! Quite possibly the strangest smelling place in the entire market because of how many of those spices blend into each other.

You know, at 9.50 Euro per kilogram, that's not all that bad of a price. Then again, it's an octopus, which I don't have the taste for as of right now.

Apparently, that's what they are called. I don't know how they taste nor do I know what kind of dish you would want to make wit these creepy fish. All I know is that to find these being sold at the market is one of those sites that reminds you you're not in the states any more.

The base of the Christopher Columbus monument at the port end of La Ramblas. It was the only shot that didn't look like it was taken by a tourist, which is why I uploaded it here for you guys to see.

A marble bench outside of the ticket and coat check building at the Peggy Guggenheim museum. Definately words to live by if nothing else.

No idea where this is, but I'm very impressed with myself right now at the fact that the shot came out looking so professional!

Walking along here is more pleasent than you think. There is something about the shade and the sea breeze that takes the pain of hiking a good mile on brick off your mind. Kind of wish most shore cities had something like this, but it's apparently cheaper in the US to make boardwalks out of actual wood than bricks.

Lido Island, as seen from St. Nicolos looking towards the WaterBus Depot. I think I took this just outside of a gas station, but I can't remember.
