July 30th

Made it back to Barcelona today. Gonna hang here for a few days and treat myself to some good food. I'm only here for 10 more days!!!! Gotta live it up before I head back to Paris, I really want to go work back at Vin Choi Moi for a bit before I come home.

Learned to not trust google maps today...Laundry turned out to be workout!

Just went to La Champagneria! Place was hard to find. New name on maps, and actually no name at all when I showed up! Google is killin me over here...Awesome spot that Blake said was a must. No tables, just crowd around the bar, or any place you can, and drink Cava. It's rosè champagne, and it's the only thing they serve. Ha! It was cool. Met some ladies from Austraila, always nice to speak English.

And I had blood sausage, for the first time! I've been looking forward to this moment. Sounds crazy, but always something I wanted to try, and it was really good. Kinda soft, but delish... I promise you would like it!

I also tried the Iberco Ham plate. It's those pig legs hanging from the ceiling, and at every place I've been yet. Just sittin at room temp, with a cloth over it. Mold growing from the ones hanging on the ceiling. Crazy, but good! They have so many different grades of it here in Spain. Just ok here, amazing at the hotel though. The ham at the hotel is from a specific farm, acorn fed. They take this stuff seriously. It's like Japanese Kobe beef. I will be back tomorrow for a sandwich, for sure..

More later
