We woke up at 8:30am, Andy made breakfast we finished packing.
Our car was packed full to the brim.
We were homeless for a while because we can't check into our apartment in Barcelona until 5pm.
We went down to the beach to walk around for a while.
Stopped for a coffee, and did some shopping. Abby's shoe broke so we needed some flip flops asap.
At 2pm we drive to Barcelona to find our apartment, walk the beach and get some lunch.
The morning started off hot and sunny, but in the afternoon the clouds came it and it was pretty windy.
While Andy took the rental car back, the girls and I started to unpack.
The apartment is nice. 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms. Nice living room, cute little kitchen. But the best part is the large balcony, with a view of the sea.
The kitchen
There is a Starbucks - woo hoo.
We stop for dinner at a Italian place. I enjoy some Moscato wine!
The San Juan - National Holiday continues through the weekend. The landlord in Sitges said that everyone takes a drink to the beach, and the Barcelona landlord said that everyone lights off fireworks.
WHICH they do!!! The whole night there were fireworks going off throughout the whole city. It was awesome to see, but not so awesome when we went to bed at 2am and the fireworks were still going.
Too bad it was so cloudy we couldn't see the super moon.Day 28 / June 24, 2013 - First full day in Barcelona
We slept in until noon, yesterday was a long and tiring day. Abby and I got up and went for a run along the boardwalk next to the beach. We found a beautiful port not far from our apartment. (We'll have to take Andy back there to look at the yachts) We finish our run at the Starbucks. Abby gets a juice from the juice bar, we get Tory a chocolate donut and head home.
The internet is so slow at the house, its very frustrating. We were going to go to the mall to try to find a wifi device but because of the holiday the stores are close.
We go to the mall for lunch. The girls have some Asian noodle and sushi rolls while Andy and I go on a lunch date to the Rib/Steakhouse.

For dinner Tory and I walk to the mall to pick up some food.
We end up getting McDonald's!! Our first fast food in a month.
I was pretty American today -
1. Starbucks
2. Rib Restaurant - I had a burger
3. McDonalds
I hope to be more European tomorrow. :)
