This was the first weekend we got to spend the whole weekend in Barca. HOORAY! The weather was supposed to be gorgeous too, so we figured we'd play tourists for the weekend.
However, my first adventure was to the doctor to figure out what was wrong with my left foot. Last week a sharp pain developed in my heel to the point where it was difficult for me to walk (proving my point even more that I love it here, but my body hates it!). Of course I thought it was just because I was walking more than my body was used to so I waited a week to see if it would go away, and let's be honest, I didn't want to have to go to the doctor without my mommy there. After a week though, the pain only worsened so I figured it was time to take an adventure to the doctor. And boy, what an adventure it was. I took the metro, which was pretty complicated, to the street where the office was and of course, I got lost and walked back and forth, up and down the street a few times before finally finding it. I filled out paperwork and talked to the receptionist and then the nurse came out to get me........ my jaw dropped.... Not only did he speak English and have a cute accent, but he was the hottest nurse I had ever seen! Maybe going to the doctor without my mom wasn't so bad after all. ....Anyway, back to seeing the doctor, the nurse stayed with me the whole time and translated what the doctor said whenever I didn't understand. My tendon was only inflamed, which is common, and he gave me some natural remedies and a cream to heel it within a few days. Phew! 
After the doctors office it was time to meet up with my friends and find a place to eat for lunch. After wandering around heading toward the beach, we found a place called Kula's. The menu looked like good food, but the thing that caught our eye were the strawberry daiquiris. The sun was shining and the beach was beautiful, so why not sit on the patio and drink a few daiquiris! While we were sitting, chatting, a man with a tee shirt on and a bow tie pulled up a chair and joined our conversation. After asking him a million questions we found out that he was from England and getting married and this was his bachelor party. Apparently his 20 guy friends, who were sitting at the table next to us, told him to show up to the airport with all his bags packed. He had no idea where he was going until he got on the plane. How cool is that! He brought us a rose and bought us a bottle of cava: him and his friends were a crack up! After eating a Spanish burrito, having a few daiquiris, and spending the whole afternoon at Kula's it was time to go home and get ready to go out for the night. Yes, we were there sitting in the sun until it set. The owner even gave us VIP cards because he liked us so much, and best of all, he was Australian!
What a beautiful day in paradise!
