I am currently writing this post from a hotel room in Barcelona. I have spent what seems like an eternity traveling and I have only recently taken a break for a bath (why not shower? long story) and a change of clothes. If my calculations are correct I have been awake for roughly 24hrs at this point, running on about 4 hour sleep. Go me! anyway, here are some photos to help explain my trip thus far:

Eight hours of that gigantic european man. I stayed entertained.
