The rain in Spain does not fall mainly on the plain

Hi all! In the past two days, we have received 3 visitors :) Stephanie and her friend, Lindsey, arrived on Tuesday. They have been such a blast. They are staying here through the weekend. We´ve been able to hang out at the beach, explore Gaudi´s architecture, we had coffee at Zurich Cafe, a small famous cafe in Barcelona, we also had dinner last night a Michael Collins, an authentic Irish pub by La Segrada Familiar cathedral. Last night we also met our friend Drena who arrived from Alicante and will stay with us through the end of July.

While we love having visitors, we are convinced that they brought some sort of weather curse! Since they arrived, the weather has been slowly going down hill :( The first day it was just cloudy and cooler; but today it has been raining NONSTOP! ugh!

Ni modo. At Cafe Zurich, with steph and lindsey, we spotted naked man #3. This naked man stood by the sidewalk cafe and proceeded to take his clothes off, fold them neatly, walk around and then put the clothes back on... he did this repeatedly for about 45 minutes. I am still waiting for a decent answer to the naked men in Barcelona question.

Besides Naked Men.... last week, we were at a sidewalk cafe at about 10:00 p.m when a huge group of 20-something guys walked by... most of them were dressed in jeans and yellow-plaid, flannel, lumberjack-like shirts with blonde wigs and caked on make-up;however, the last young lad was dressed in a pink nightie and was holding the back of it up to show himself to all the world.

Public restrooms.... for the most part you cannot find public restrooms... but our friend was walking home the other day and when she got to her house(apartment building), she found this older well dressed lady, squatting and pooping explosively on the front porch. Our friend was disgusted, tried to say something, but Pooper Lady began to tell her off in Spanish. When Pooper finished her business, she took the Depends she was wearing, scooped up the runny pooh, with the pooh dripping over her hand, looked at our friend and says, ¨Perdon.¨ Pooper then takes her dirty mess over to the garbage can, throws it away and walks on.

We love this country! Where else is there a constant source of free entertainment so readily available!?!?!?!?!?!?
