Estamos en Barcelona!

Hola! Estamos ahorra en Barcelona y estoy aprendendo hablar Catalan. Just checking into our hostel now at 2pm. Can't believe we already left paris and now are in a new big city. For a little while I forgot to change the language haha so I was saying pardon instead of perdon. Hilarities. A little recap of last night in Paris though.

Me and vida woke up and went out to explore some more Parisian sights. We started out taking the metro to the Arce de Triomphe where we took loads of pictures and met some Brazilian Capoeiristas performing in front of it. They were amazingly nice and we were able to exchange contact info to send them the great shots we go of them performing. On another note, I swear all Brazilians are vacationing in Paris right now. Everywhere I turned I saw them. To make matters worse I was leaving a video at the apple store by the opera house and some brazilians kept walking into my video for my aunt in Brazil and then I went on to say that there were some crazies behind me and low and behold they were Brazilian and laughed at me lol. Of course this would happen to me. We had our first sit down lunch at a cute cafe next to the Jardin des Tuleries. It was amazing! I had a croque monsieur just to be very french haha. If you don't know what that is it is a sandwich with cheese and ham on the inside and shredded cheese melted on top. Can you say AMAZING? It was soooo delicious, then for sake of being in France and stuffing my face with crepes, I had a crepe du chocolate. Tres maginifique. After a long day of sightseeing we called it because we were sooo exhausted and had an early flight to barcelona. I have to admit leaving was sad, but I will be back there in a few days for more Parisian escapades. Now on to some Spanish fun! Hasta luego!

  2. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it sounds sooooo nice! Just so you know I am living vicariously through you. lol
    ALSO I wanted to share some awesome scriptures with you:
    So I have been reading Ephesians for my quiet times so I want to share with you some great scriptures from the book:
    1. Ephesians 2
    - The whole chapter is amazing. Entitled Made Alive with Christ, this chapter talks about how we are now dead to the sins that have enslaved us and how with God's mercy we are saved.
    Verse 2: "You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-- commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God."
    Verse 4: "But God is so rich in mercy and he loved us so much that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead."

    Love you!!
