Day 202: Barcelona

I gotta say, it was really cool landing in Barcelona when any other Sunday I'd still be in my bed, snoozing for another two or three hours! The things you can accomplish when you wake up before noon! But seriously... I literally cannot remember the last Sunday I woke up before noon, much less took a train, metro and plane and ended up in a whole other city before noon!

Our afternoon was filled with checking in, lunch, cupcakes and walking up and down Plaça de Gracia. The absolute best part of the afternoon was totally when we got stuck in the rain on our walk up Las Ramblas. Rain was getting in my boots, despite the big umbrella, and it was starting to get a little bit miserable when, all of a sudden, we started to hear music.

I followed it and, before we knew it, we were standing under an awning, listening to three guys who called themselves the New Orleans Ragamuffins!! Their music was so great and peppy that I forgot all about the rain and - after a few songs, the rain even seemed to get into the vibe and stopped altogether! :) The whole time they played, I was tapping my foot along, occasionally breaking out into a little jig. Almost twenty minutes later, I still didn't want to leave and my desire to full out dance had grown so strong that I handed Dad my camera and pressed the record button.

And that's the story of why I now have a video of myself doing the Charleston in the rain to a ragtime band on the streets of Barcelona! ;)

Only me...

A few people started clapping for me when I finished, which made me giggle, rather embarrassed, and made the decision to finally leave easier. :-P
