Picture this...

I'm sitting under and umbrella, snacking on fresh cheese and cured hams, drinking the most refreshing sangria (a glass that was about the size of a gallon of milk with an obnoxious straw hanging out of it - try not to picture that part because i ditched the straw as quick as possible), watching the people stroll by on the busy pathway, smelling the fresh flowers that are being sold, watching the street performers, seeing the police run down and tackle a man that's stolen a lady's purse (maybe try not to picture that one either...)

are you jealous yet?

Well if not, let me go on: Picture loading up in a bus and having a cheerleader at the front with a microphone...then getting a historical tour through the city of barcelona, while on the way to Gaudi's Park Guell. Then arriving and realizing that your company has reserved the entire thing. With performers everywhere...from flamenco music to very modern performing artists, light shows, a troop that builds human castles or something like that. Champagne flowing from fountains and food from 4 different regions. All while being perched above the city...with the twinkling lights (but not until sometime after 10pm...man it stays light late there).
