Journal Entry July 10th 4:53 pm

I got up at 7 this morning (no alarm). I hung around the apartment for a while, then got ready and headed for the Arc de Triomf. We were supposed to meet at the Metro at 1, but I got there at 12:30 (which is good because I spent 20 minutes looking for the Metro station!).

We went down to Platya Barceloneta, the local beach. It was really busy, but the water felt wonderful. There is a substance in the sand there that sticks to your skin and floats in the water. It looks like someone sprayed everything with glitter. It was nice but I´m glad I left early because I can already feel the sunburn.

On my way home (in which I got hopelessly lost because I lost my map) I saw a girl get caught trying to pickpocket someone! The girl whose wallet she was trying to steal turned and slapped her and grabbed the wallet back!

I was going to go back to La Rambla in a bit but my sunburn is bad enough that I think I will stay in.

P.S. The Alimentario down the street finally got more apple juice! Yay!

8:15 pm

I took a nap to get back some of the energy that the sun zapped out of me. When I woke up my body was screaming, -Ow ow ow SUNBURN!- it´s good that I left when I did or I would be miserable.
