rockstar sightings

i got back from portugal, and who was here in barcelona to make my life even more amazing? eliza my contact improve love! eliza is studying in london for the semester, and was in barcelona for the weekend before heading to Morroco for her spring break. I missed most of her weekend, but fortunately got to see her on Monday. she had a pretty cool friend with her (brie). it began with some ultimateyl confusing facebook messages, but eventually we met up at la catedral (after waiting an hour with my friend tessa cuase eliza forgot about the time difference, haha) and went to lunch. It was a beautiful lunch in Juicy Jones (can juicy jones ever not be amazing? i think not), and then tessa went on her way as eliza, brie, and i strolled down to parc de la ciutadella where we had a romantic row in the pond. eliza was a professional at rowing, so brie and i got to chill in the back of the boat. at one point we decided it would be a good idea to row underneath the bridge, but didn't realize that it only came up about a foot above the water until we were practically underneath. it was pretty ridiculous, like a mini roller coaster, and we had to go underneath it several times before finally leaving the pond. we frolliced in the park, and i showed off my knowledge of barcelona, got some fancy chocolate, and then i walked them home to their hostel. it was basically a perfect afternoon.
