This past weekend

This past weekend Joel had a couple Singaporean friends who are currently studying in Lisbon come to visit. On Sunday, we set out to Parc Guell to hang out and get some pictures. The weather was beautiful and the view was amazing, but of course my camera battery was dead. However, Joel got some pictures for me with his sweet camera. The day before Barcelona had hurricane force winds that did some real damage around the city. We went in the side entrance of Park Guell and there were fallen trees everywhere (see Julien below on fallen tree). We practically had to hike through the park, climing over fallen trees and making our own paths. When we finally made our way back down to the main part of the park we were greeted by two police officers who promptly kicked us out. Apparently, the park had been closed the whole time! It was kind of a bummer, but I'm sure we'll make it back to see the whole park soon. We then made our way down to the beach and were greeted by an older drunk gentlemen on his balcony who was performing his own strip show for the tourists below. Needless to say it was very....interesting. After we were bored of his "performance" we made our way to a restaurant for some Paella and Sangria, a traditional Spanish dinner.
