So yesterday was one of the craziest days of my life. We spent most of the evening after dinner browsing the La Rambla stores and people watching. There was a large department store called Corte Ingles that was much like a Macys except that it had a huge grocery store on the lowest level. That night was a championship futbol match in which FC Barcelona won some championship. The main square Plaza Catalunya was packed with high school and college students. They had a public broadcast of the game and after the team won, thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate. It was crazy! There were people lighting off fireworks and climbing anything and everything they could find.
Today we are planning on heading down to the beach and doing dome sightseeing, but it is supposed to rain a lot so not sure how well that will work out.
