So,
for those of us who thought the mullet was firmly entrenched in the 80's and trailer parks like it belonged, Spain is a vicious slap in the face. Not only is it alive, it is thriving. They have even developed multiple styles for it.. I was highly disturbed, now I just pretend I don't see it, like the penis I was subjected to on the beach today.. It is a topless beach, not a nude one!
I am back in Barcelona now, I was in Valencia from the 7th to the 15th. I spent part of my time there with a french canadian and the other half with this whole group. Six of us spent three days together, from the beach to the bar. There were two girls in my hostel room from near Bristol in England, two kiwi's an israeli and myself.
Somehow we all wound up attatched to each other, it was good fun, lots of time on the beach and on the town. The girls were shocked and apalled that I didn't have a skirt with me, so they decided I had to wear one of theirs (pictures to come). I actually went to the beach in a skirt, and one that came up above my knees!!
I went to Barcelona with them, and unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it I've had a litre of beer and a half litre of sangria and I can't focus enough to write this properly, I will finish and tell you all about my travelling companions later.
