Wow these past few days have been crazy!! Here's a low down run down.
- after the return from the adventuresome weekend was a day of REST and INTERNET!!!
- then Jake showed up and the first night was, well, a BASH. It was a huge party in the town square with concerts, lot's of booze, and lot's of people!!
- next day we saw the castells... Basically these are human towers of about 5-9 people tall. It was the most amazing thing ever. I took a bunch of pictures so expect some authentic postcards (i'm getting the film developed and picking it up tonight!) I was so amazingly impressed with these things that I am going to join up with one of the teams, TONIGHT!!
- JP arrived and we went to the 'correfocs', running with fire!! Basically, you have a bunch of people dressed up as devils carrying sticks with a pivot on the end. On the pivot they fix a firework that shoots sparks about 5 feet out and spins until it explodes like dynamite.. Okay, now, imagine just thousands of these things going around the streets on the main Rambla of the city... Okay, now imagine that most of these spinner things are more ornate with like 15 fireworks in them!! Now, imagine ME as well as thousands of others (a lot, but most just watched from the side) running around underneath the sparks with hats, bandanas, old clothes, ETC. I can't hear today!!!
- I'm joining a gym this morning, working out, then taking the rest of the day easy until I have the human tower practice tonight, joder!!
This city rocks, I am finally starting to get a feel of the city and I'm loving it. It's a more tranquil version of Barcelona--- cleaner, nicer, smaller, and more engrained traditions!
Sorry with the photos because i'm moving slow getting some uploaded but they're coming!
Moltes gracies per lliure, adeu!
