Kickin' back; Waves and Rays

     Sitting back in the hot Barcelona sun, cold drink in hand, and only amongst the sounds of waves and seagulls; yeah, it really is the life.  Here, we have made camp in the sand, not a worry in the world.  The coastline is tucked into the countryside, with the mountains to my right, and endless kilometers of soft sandy beaches to the left.  Clear blue skies and waters of the glistening Mediterranean Sea come together on the horizon as if there is no end to it no matter how far you travel.  This place on Earth is empyrean and surreal. 
     Yesterday, we found ourselves touring Barcelona, being sure to pass by and admire all the big tourist attractions, as well as the incredibly elaborate architecture throughout the city.  The Gothic style of the city is astonishing.  The detail and craftsmanship of the buildings inside and out is unbelieveable. To think that these kinds of structures were created hundreds of years ago is mind-boggling.  It is my dream to be able to design with such incredible detail someday.
     Now tonight, we sit in preparation to witness the resounding reputation Barcelona has for its nightlife.  Guided by friends we have accrued in the past few days, alonside Sara Larabe, we will be led throught the cities clubs scattered along the coastline.  Supposedly we are in for a night that only Barcelona can provide, but we will let you know how the judges score comes back within the next few days.  However, I don't expect anything less.
