Rage parking in Barcelona

When I visited Barcelona earlier this fall with my friend R, we saw this parking garage. From our vantage point, it totally looked as if its sign read as "rage parking." Of course, if one had been stuck in traffic before entering the garage, that could certainly be an apt description!

Don't leave that on the beach!

On the way down to the beach in Barcelona, we came across this sculpture. He rather reminded me of Mr. Hankey from South Park; perhaps he is a crustacean relative?

Befuddled in Barcelona

I saw this nerdy...mannequin outside of a store in Barcelona. Okay, maybe he's just the bones of a mannequin, but I was feeling all "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Or not really. I thought he was quite cute, as he seemed to be rather befuddled.

My week: October 12 ed.

-My family was still in town. We took a day trip to Idar-Oberstein and they loved it. We just about killed ourselves hiking up to the Felsenkirche and then later the castle (and to find that the latter was closed!). On the way home, we visited the airbase in Ramstein so my family could see all the changes that had taken place since the last time they'd been there.

-On Tuesday, I drove them to the airport and said goodbye. I then went back to work and had to wade through a lot of things that had come up.

-I had my German class.

-On Friday night, I flew with my friend R to Barcelona for the weekend. We had a nice time but I was starting to feel a bit run-down by Sunday night.
