I envy the Spanish and the life they lead. They work to live, not live to work like us.
Work starts at about 10am go until 2pm and then afternoon SIESTA!! they all go home and have a massive 3 course lunch and sometimes a nap. This goes on until about 5pm when they then go back to work until 7pm. This is however very annoying when you are a tourist as all the shops and restaurants close from 2 till 5.
The sun is so bright in spain and the sky the most amazing bright blue. How could you not be happy living in a place so bright that allows afternoon naps?
on the second night in Barcelona I went to a live Flamenco show and all I can say is WOW! such passion, and fierce energy. They danced for 2 hours straight and did not start to fade at any point. The guitarist was unreal and after 2 hours of playing the way he did I'm surprised his fingers did not bleed.
Went out to a club on the pier after this and for 2 Euro a drink I got completely hammered. Not as much however as our tour manager Dan who Rhys and I had to escort home. The next day when someone asked "Dan, how did you manage to get home last night?" His reply was "no fucking clue!"
Overall I love Barcelona and Spain in general...
Look out for my return... Long live SUN, SANGRIA and SIESTA!!
