Train to Barcelona

We arrived in Barcelona this morning. We took an overnight train from Paris. The station from which we left wasn't very nice. It was cold, and there wasn't much indoor space to enjoy. There were also fewer helpful people who spoke English, as the train was from France to Spain. We muddled through, and eventually we boarded the train.

We had a very small room, but it was ours, and it ended up being a nice experience. We had drinks at the bar before turning in for the night, and we had breakfast in the small restaurant on the train this morning. It wasn't the best night of sleep either of has had, but it should get the job done.

Our cabin.

Now we're on to the next leg of our journey, in Barcelona. We will be thrown right into the fire with a huge soccer match this evening between Barcelona and AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League. We have seen several Milan supporters around the city already today, along with tons of people sporting Barca gear, including Stephanie.

  2. So Steph, since Sam used his french in France are you going to take over the language duties in Spain with your spanish? Too bad about the overcast weather at the top of Mr. Eiffel's structure. I thought the sparkling lights at night were really cool. Enjoy Barcelona!

  3. I've been jealous of all of your travels thus far, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't most jealous of this.
