"La Sagrada Familia"
Nearly one week I have been in Barcelona-- where they Speak the spanish I know, but with a lisp. So actually, they are speaking "eth-pan-yol"... anyhow, it's a little different, but certainly easier to understand than Italian.
It is a magnificent city, basically one giant piece of artwork-- look up Antoni Gaudi-- he was a ground breaking architect who created stunning mosaic-covered, gravity-challenging edifices scattered around the city.
Now I'm feeling the serious impact of the Euro currency on my meager savings, and needing to find a job asap. I'd like to stay here for awhile because I like the verve and beauty of the city. It has all the big city energy, back alley treasures, laid back feel, and immediate access to the Mediterranean beaches.
The "Gingerbread Houses" in Parc Guell
Lovely lovely.
Ideally I would like to get hooked up as an "Au Pair", where a local family takes me in providing my room & board in exchange for teaching their children English. Unfortunately this is something I should have been researching months ago. So for now, I might just have to settle for a cheap room outside of town and maybe odd jobs watching kids or in corner cafe's.
That's all, so ciao for now.
