Ah, Barcelona again! Missed its narrow streets, its multiculturalism, people from all parts, its 'ramblas', its warm Mediterranean summer ... It was also terrific to meet again with Ale after a while, a guy with a very quiet and pleasant character. We lived together a long time in Tenerife and Barcelona, so I always feel very comfortable with it next. The house is like any other house of single men (ie, a small disaster), what makes me feel more comfortable yet, and there's another really cool dude from Iceland named Jon living with him. So many movies to watch, YouTube videos, some guitar jamming and lots of chilling...
On Monday I organized a small group meeting in the Barcelona Couch Surfing (www.couchsurfing.org), an awesome page I'll talk about later, and we gathered in the Parc de la Ciutadella, which is to Barcelona what Central Park is to NY. The idea was to have a picnic (liters of sangria included) and arrange an exchange. Everyone brought something that did not use, and we exchanged books, kitchen utensils, clothing, camping and other things. I took a sleeping bag and a inflatable mattress that will be great for the trip.
Unfortunately, the possibility of going to Lithuania in the van seems to be complicated, so I'm evaluating other possible routes to hitchhike up there with my friend James, who also lived and travelled with me in Malaysia and Australia. The option that seems to go right now is to meet in Alessandria (Italy), and then make a two-week trip through Venice, Vienna, Bratislava and Krakow to Kaunas. There stay a while before heading out again to maybe Scandinavia, with its long summer days and beautiful women, after going down to Berlin and the Czech Republic, where we would gather with a friend of James to build a clay oven (do not ask, I have no idea ...). But also you know what they say: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." So let's throw the dices and see what we get in this lottery of life! ...
