Barcelona

October 20th
Barcelona

I got off the ship around 10am with my friend from the spa to meet up with a mutual friend in the city. Turns out that we both know someone from the Rhapsody who just happened to be in port with us on a Celebrity ship. It is this small community that makes it so much fun working on ships, you never know who you’re going to run into again and where. So we all met up and went out for lunch and a walk down the main street in Barcelona, La Rambla. We didn’t have a lot of time off the ship and after a few stops (fish market, grocery store, adult store, the usual…ha) we returned to the ship to start the next cruise. The rest of the way went as usual for a welcome aboard day, including another parade that has succeeded in lowering my self-esteem and destroying what little pride I have. Ok, maybe it’s not that bad, but I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am for the fact that none of you will ever see me dancing in a African themed poncho/cape for a poorly designed parade in front of dozens of inebriated guests. Anyway, that was Barcelona, next time I’m here I’ll be getting on a flight home!
