Daily Drena: Lots-o-Chocolate

We’d like to give a shout out to (Lorena’s) Grammy, who is 99 years young today! We are sad to miss the big celebrations in Mass. this weekend. Also, a happy birthday to bro-in-law, Harlan, who is much, much younger.

You will notice the absence of a post yesterday, as Drew pretty much just slept the entire day away, waking up only to be brought food and water. Today he gained enough strength to venture out on the town a bit and went to a chocolate museum. Our entrance tickets were chocolate bars…yum!  We also got enticed by a huge building that we thought was a market (it was called Mercat del Born), but it turned out to be an archaeological dig. Interesting too, but definitely the opposite of a market.

I finished my art class tonight and came home with a completed, but wet oil painting. She said it would take 4-5 days to dry. Uh oh. This might make for some tricky traveling.

In those three hours that I was in class (and after too), Drew continued our attempt to obtain train tickets to leave Barcelona. He doesn’t want to talk about how frustrating this seemingly simple task has been.
