Barcelona Day 1.5

Remember how on Star Trek Captain Kirk would the supplemental Captain’s Log In addition to a previous day’s post? Well that’s what I’m doing now. I wonder if anybody actually put episodes of Star Trek in order according to the date on the Captain’s Log rather than the broadcast date on television.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Sagrada Familia. I understand it looks very organic in Design. I hope that it will not be too crowded and that I will be able to find the ticket area with my previously purchased ticket at 9 a.m. today. I hope to be able to use my GoPro inside to get a good 360 degree view of the place. I have also scheduled a group to work at 9:30 a.m. this morning which should provide me with some better insight to the church.

After getting a good view of the church and taking several pictures I plan on stopping by the tour group business which I purchased a ticket to see Andorra tomorrow. It’s nearby so I should be able to find it easily. I also have A2 p.m. ticket to see the Park guell today.
Yesterday afternoon I went out without a jacket and was could probably fine. Everyone else seemed to be wearing heavy coats. Maybe living in the south give me opportunity to regulate my body temperature so that I won’t need a jacket and look forward to cooler weather.

I was able to get enough sleep last night. I went to bed at around 7:30 p.m. and slept until midnight. Then I got up and checked Facebook and chatted with friends briefly via messenger. I went back to sleep and slept a few more hours. 

So here I am that 5 a.m. in the morning waiting for the 7:30 a.m. breakfast at my hotel. Understand it’s a continental breakfast but I suspect that it will have the usual European ham and cheese sandwich availability along with toast. I just hope that it has orange juice because I really need that in the morning. One thing I found is that European breakfast have watered down orange juice.

I’m apprehensive about posting too much to social media figuring that it might look like I’m bragging about being in Europe but I do like to share with my friends and family my experiences.

My hotel room is very tiny. It’s even smaller than the hotel room I had in Estonia in May. I’m a bit disappointed that it doesn’t have a refrigerator which I’d hoped to use to keep my Sprite called. I guess I will have to buy a cold Sprite each night in order to have a nighttime snack on my way back to the hotel. A purchase today chocolate cookies last night from a bakery. It was quite delicious and I ended up just drinking some water from faucet. When I searched Google to determine at faucet water was okay to drink in Spain there was mixed results. But there were people out there who said it’s in Spain as part of the European Union there are certain standards that the water has to meet in order for it to be considered pure. I’ve never had any problem and you’re up when drinking the faucet water and I don’t expect to have any problems in Spain.

Well friend, I’m out of things to talk about so I will bed my one or two readers goodbye for now. I will post more once I have some new experiences today.
