Arriving in Spain!!

Sean and I (Elizabeth) flew out of the USA on Friday, July 16th and arrived in Barcelona on Saturday, July 17th. We went to check in at the hotel (by the way... it was the only hotel we had reserved in advance for this entire trip) and discovered the room was not yet ready for us. We then decided to wander around Barcelona and happened upon a open air market.

There were many sites to be seen, smells to enjoy, and foods to taste. Before ordering any food (which was the first time I was forced to speak Spanish) Sean and I stumbled upon a stand that sold meats. As you can see in the below picture, we were able to purchase the pig, the hat, or the hat AND the pig... however, we chose to purchase none of the above :)

We then strolled along the Rambla (which is a large street that runs in the middle of the area) and were sorely disappointed when we discovered we could not urinate or defecate in public!!!!!!!!!!!!
