BARCELONA

This blog entry is dedicated to my mother, because she shares my love for plants and markets, and these are the things I am going to talk about in this entry.


In Barcelona I live in a large dirty flat. I live with a ton of sweet young people, There are 6 of us and we are from 6 different countries- Belgium, Slovakia, Brasil, Spain, Italy, and the USA. We have lots of laughs and language lessons. Our flat is located in calle Tamarit right in front of el Mercado de St. Antoni.











Barcelona has lots of Markets, here are several fotos from another market right off the Rambla by metro Liceo. It was in Spain that I learned to love figs which is why they are highlighted, and the pumpkin foto is to clear up any doubts about their existance in Spain (I was unsure for a while, but found pleanty in time for halloween). The seafood foto is because I think the little creatures look beautiful.

























































So living in front of a market with cool people- I couldn´t really ask for much more. There was only one thing that was bothering me. The state of my balcony. If I was going to live in an apartment for more than one month I would have a beautiful balcony, with lots of plants, lots. But traveling everymonth, it is a little hard to justify plant purchases... but the fact remained that I was very jelous of my neighbors balcony´s , and not the good kind of jelous where I was happy for them and their balconies, but the bad kind of jelous where you can´t sleep at night and you want their balconies.

Here is my neighbor directly below me...




and the neighor down the street....










So finally, I bought myself two mint plants, and I love them and they make me and my balcony very happy. And I justified the purchase because I am going to throw myself a going away party and serve mojitos... so my georgeous plans will be consumed entirely.




So, that is a bit about my living conditions and joys in Barcelona... onther highlights/ amazing urban art and graffiti fotos to come. Much love, Laura
