Parrots and Pigeons!
We made friends with Austrians who shared our room in the hostel. There were 6 of them, I don't remember any of their names, but they invited us out with them and we went. We also met their Swedish friends...between them speaking German, the Swedes speaking Swedish, Sophie speaking French and the natives speaking Spanish, I was sooo confused lol luckily they all spoke some english as well.
Sophie and I asked for traditional Spanish drinks...i dunno what it was called but it cost each of us €4.50
A street vendor was selling these roses, and they were real!
Barcelona!

I thought I saw a squirrel, so I jumped from a bench to the top of a concrete wall...needless to say I missed...and it was a plastic bag lol

Our first look at the Mediterranean Sea!
Arc de Triomf
This was our first night...we had to sleep in the Marseille, France airport. I was scared to death and slept for maybe a half hour, it was horrible. The Mediterranean Sea in France
The train cars were like in Harry Potter, our own personal cabin with closing doors! It took us 9 hours to get from Marseille, France to Barcelona, Spain

We had a short stop in Avignon, France, where we walked around and saw some sights and got some ice cream. The only bad part of the trip was Sophie only likes to eat snacks all day, so she was always pulling an orange or cookies out of her pocket, then didn't want to get lunch or dinner, and I was always really hungry.
This was a bridge in Avignon, France, I forget why it was so special, but it was never completed, or it was washed away or something.
Beautiful Avignon
