Spain Day 3 (January 30, 2009)

Our third and final day in Barcelona was a great one as well. We woke up early, and hit the streets once again, our flight being later that night. The girls went shopping and Matt and I just sort of wandered. The streets of Barcelona are filled with entertainers: brass-painted men and women pretending to be statues, different fantasy like characters, people pretending to be animals, kind of weird but interesting. Also, you can buy almost any type of bird or rabbit from the different vendors. The available birds for purchase range from a parrot, to a rooster, to a pigeon. You can get any sort of rabbit as well; there were even ones that looked almost exactly like that character from Gremlins. Pretty random stuff, but I guess birds and rabbits are just popular pets in Barcelona. The flight back to Sevilla went very smooth. We weren’t exactly sure how we were going to get back to Cadiz that night though. We arrived too late to catch the last running train, so we forked over some major cash for an hour and a half cab ride back to Cadiz. Not an insane amount when divided among six people, but a lot. It was worth it though, we were able to get a little taste of the Cadiz night life, and got to check back into the boat and sleep in our own beds (which was excellent)!
