Maremagnum mall

April 3 Day 3

I'm not sure what time I woke up, but the sun was stil out so I'm guessing it's not night time yet. I woke up and got dress. I decided to walk around to the closet mall of barcelona. Which was only a few blocks from the hotel. I decided to skip breakfast and get soomething while I shopped. I stumbled across a huge mall called the Maremagnum. This place was bigger than any mall I'd ever seen in St.Louis. It was really amazing it had H&m ,and calvin Klein/ It also had a few other stores I'd never heard of in my life like Friday's Project? Yea I don't know either. Luckily Before I left St.Louis I converted most of my money into Euros.I decided to buy a plaid skirt from H&M which was the only store I really knew, but I kinda didn;t know what 6 euros were.A woman behind who was behind told me it was 6 dollars well technically 14 dollars in America but thats besides the point. So after that confusing situation I decided to go to one of the mall's food courts. Surprisingly they had gyros. Yay, I order a gyro meal. It was 12 euros. I took out like 60 euros and gave it to the man. He looked at me strange and gave me back 40.Huh go fig? I decided to catch a cab back to the hotel and sleep for some reason I was bored.

April 2 Day 2

I woke early and called my friend Alan. Today is his birthday. I had to call at a certain time because of the time difference in Spain. It is 4am now in spain but 8pm in America. Thats sucks! I barely know what time it is. Anyway after wishing Alan a happy birthday i fell asleepa and woke up at 11...i think and order room service. Unfortunately Barcelona most popular food is fattening pork ,so I order eggs with cheese and a salad also known as huevos con queso y ensalada in spain. After I ate I got dress and called a cab to see some of Barcelona's famous sights. The first in my list was the magical fountain of Montjuic.It was very bright and beautiful. I spoke very little spanish ,but I asked someone to take a picture of me and the cab driver. I said" fotographica porfavor" I think they got it. The next place I went was the Olympic Stadium. It was very huge. I'm guessing this stadium is where Barcelona's famous atheletes play "futbol" also known as soccer. By the time I was done taking pictures and walking around it was about 8 o clock..I think so I headed back to the hotel. I didn't feel like going to a resturaunt I really didn't know any so I ordered room service again..gotta llove room service exspecially when it's prepaid for. I just decided to order "galletas y leche" which is cookies and milk and then go to sleep.
