It's Not That I Didn't Like The Excursion... I'm Just Glad To Be In Barcelona Again

This picture would make the perfect "Come Visit Spain Commercial"
It was unreal.
So. We went to "Costa Brava", and it's okay.
I mean it's nice.
It's pretty.
There were so many cats. Just oh my gosh.
Lots of little local stores.
But I'm SO glad to be back in Barcelona.

It's just not the same.
I suppose that I didn't come to Spain to see small towns. Maybe that's it.

But anyway, it was still nice to do once. Lots of good scenery (cats) makes for good pictures...
Gato.









Overall, we visited... 3(?) towns, I think. The best part was the boat ride there. Hands down. Sitting on the front of the boat while the waves just slammed us. It was freezing, but so much fun.
For the actual towns, they were basically just small coastal towns, but everything was in Spanish. I didn't/don't find them nearly as interesting as I find Barcelona though.
I think what I found most interesting was the COMPLETE lack of big business anything. Literally not a single non-locally owned, big store; all were mom & pop shops. They didn't even have cash-registers, it was very different. But it was really cool in that respect, I was kind of amazed that such a beautiful place has not been completely overrun by Hiltons and Burger Kings (or whatever you think of when you think "BIG BUSINESS").


Wooooo... Sweet typical tourist photo-op.
(In it's defense, it was very pretty.)
Gato.
Gato. On the prowl. (This one was totally
hunting some poor bird down.)
Gato. (Not my hand, I didn't want to
touch random cats)



The streets were all like this. Cars were almost non-existant here.
(I really like these streets, it was a very interesting way of living, in my opinion.)
