Barcelona, Day 3

I know postscripts should come at the end, but p.s. there are quite a few topless girls at the beaches in Spain. It's pretty common so all shapes and sizes go topless, and no one bats an eye at them. The first pair I saw I was like, "Oh my!" but then I got used to it really fast so it became, "Oh boobs okay hey look at this rock!" I like how Espana is so unfazed by nekkidness. I don't really get why it's so taboo in America since there are pictures of naked girls everywhere and readily at hand. I feel like males just wouldn't find anymore fun in seeing naked girls anymore, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case!

We went to the museum of Dali today, and it was weird. He's weird. That's all I can really say. I always feel like I'm missing something when I see his works because I just don't get it (except for the melting clocks because those make sense).
This is his famous May West room where you have to look through a giant zoom out glass to see the stuff in the room look like a face. Someone needs to explain to me WHY.

Then we went to the beach town of Rosas to have lunch before we went on a mini-cruise! It was really cool. I felt a bit nauseous though, but luckily I didn't throw up. The water was beautiful, and the beaches were beautiful, and the towns were beautiful... See a trend?

I forgot to mention that the people here don't speak the Spanish that I'm used to (Castillian) and they speak Catalan, which is a mix between French and Spanish, so this means a lot of guessing at meanings of words on menus. But almost everyone here speaks Castillian or English, so it's all very manageable. It's another reason why Catalan wants to split from Spain. Actually, I had never known that there were different regions of Spain that wanted to split from the mother country. And that apparently it's been going on for awhile, and there were a lot of people who refused to acknowledge the red and yellow Spanish flag until the World Cup, so this futbol game influenced the political world too. It may appease things within the Spanish government! Isn't that crazy how influential a sport can be? I guess I should be a football player if I want to change the world!
