Ben and Mariel's Excellent Adventures

Hi again,

We are here in Cunit, Spain. We´ve taken a brief break from relaxing on the beach in order to check our email. We´ve also come to plan our trip from here to Madrid. We are looking at either an overnight train or a cheap flight, if possible. It´s been really nice laying around in the sun, but we´re also excited to see Madrid. Ben has visited there before and has fond memories and good stories about it.

Yesterday we relaxed on the beach, played badminton and frisbee, and grilled out all day. It rained pretty hard last night so we were up late waiting for it to die down. We got to hang out and drink beer with some Germans who were stuck out of their tents, too, so that was interesting. On Saturday, we took a train into Barcelona and had a really good time walking around. We saw lots of cool architecture that Antoni Gaudi did- the famous Park Guell, with the mosaic lizard, a huge cathedral called La Sagrada Familia, and a very neat house, Casa Batllo. We also walked around on the streets, went in some shops, and walked by the ocean and in parks. Barcelona is a fun place! Today we plan to laze around again on the beach. We will leave for Madrid tonight or tomorrow.

That´s all for now. See you all again soon!

Love,
Mariel and Ben
