SUNNY DAYS AND TRUFFLE BIKINIS

IT WAS SUCH A SUNNY DAY IN BARCELONA!

RAMBLA CATALUNYA

THE PLAN WAS TO GO STROLL AROUND AND HAVE LUNCH AT THE BOQUERIA ON LAS RAMBLAS BUT WE DECIDED AGAINST IT...THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE OVERWHELMING FOR THOSE OF US THAT WERE HUNGOVER...FROM DRINKING COFFEE ALL NIGHT...

INSTEAD WE WENT FOR LUNCH AT TAPAS24 TO HAVE THE GREATEST THING ON EARTH..TRUFFLE BIKINIS...

WHAT IS A BIKINI YOU ASK?

OHH LALA... IT'S A HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH...

BUT A (JAMON DE JABUGO) AND MOZZARELLA SANDWICH...ITS DIFFERENT...SPANISH HAM ROCKS MY WORLD...

...AND THIS ONE HAS GOT GRATED BLACK TRUFFLES AND THE CRUST CUT OFF...OHH LALA..

ON THE CORNER OF STREETS PASSEIG DE GRACIA AND DIPUTACIO, THIS PLACE IS ALWAYS FULL...AND I MEAN PACKED...BUT SO WORTH IT...

THEY AREN'T ENTERING, THEY ARE WAITING

VIEW OF THE KITCHEN

PATATAS BRAVAS

ORDER THE ALCACHOFAS FRITAS (FRIED ARTICHOKES) TOO...SO GOOD

MY WALK BACK--CARRERA DE ROSELLO

TE QUIERO BARCELONA

BUENOS DIAS FROM ROOM MATE EMMA IN BARCELONA!

VIEW OF CARRER ROSSELLO FROM MY 3RD FLOOR HOTEL ROOM

THIS HOTEL IS SO CUTE MY HEAD IS EXPLODING...I EXAGGERATE...

MY ROOM

ROOM MATE EMMA IS THE NEW ADDITION TO THE ROOM MATE CHAIN, AND I MUST SAY THAT I AM QUITE IMPRESSED....I AM A BIG FAN OF SMALL BOUTIQUE HOTELS...

BIG HOTELS ARE BULLIES

OKAY, OKAY, THERE IS NO SIGN OF ROOM SERVICE THAT I CAN SEE...I AM BUMMED ABOUT THAT...BUT IF GOD CLOSES A DOOR, HE OPENS A WINDOW...

THEY SERVE BREAKFAST 'TILL NOON AND FREE WIFI! FINALLY!! A HOTEL THAT CATERS TO THE HUNGOVER! ...FROM DRINKING COFFEE ALL NIGHT OF COURSE! ;)

GREAT LATE DAY BREAKFAST BUFFET...BRIE, TORTILLA, AND FRESH TOMATO FOR PAN AMB TOMAQUET (HOW I LOOOVE TOMAQUET)

SO HERE I AM...11:30AM...ON MY COMPUTER, POST BREAKFAST WITH BBC NEWS IN THE BACKGROUND TELLING ME SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF J.D. SALINGER HAVING BEEN THE INVENTOR OF TEEN ANGST...
