Barcelona

Fresh from having an experience of stupidity --> robbery. The five of us were sittin on a park bench, chilling, when a guy came up to us "asking for directions". Stupidly, I dug out my map and started looking for the street, the 4 others participating. (When the guy came up, I had a couple of Euros in my hand and told T to take them and watch out for our bags.) When he left (having not figured where he wanted to go), our friend noticed that his camera was gone. Although that was only a few minutes later, there wasn't really anything we could do. The guy was totally average looking and so on, and though we saw which way he went, he must have had a companion who took the camera and went to the other direction. The biggest loss is obviously the friend's photos, not the camera itself. And the humiliation of falling into that (albeit being suspicious of him). And the fact that I have experienced this before, in the same city!

Otherwise, it's been a good couple of days. I'm liking the city a whole lot more than the last time (when I had a fever and a toothache...). No idea where we're off tomorrow!
