Things I love about Barcelona

After yesterday's post, I have decided to write about all the things I love about Barcelona so far.

I have been here for a month and it has been cold and rainy twice.

There is a beautiful beach two blocks from the apartment.

I have gone to the beach almost everyday.

My apartment is lovely and in a lovely neighborhood.

I have been forced to experiment with my cooking.

The kids have there own bedroom.

I have no dresser, so all of my clothes must be on hangers in the closet. (no folding, no wrinkles)

I have a guest bedroom.

I am living in a really cool city and a great place for my friends to come visit.

Maybe my friends and family will come see me here.

There is a nice little mall across the street.

I am learning a new language.

The kids are learning a new language.

This place has a night life.

There is more wonderful things to see than I will ever have time to see.

The rest of Europe is a train ride away.

Every person I have met has been positive and helpful.

I have had the opportunity to home school the kids and really learn their strong points and where they need extra help.

The movie theater across the street shows movies in their original language.

The kitchen is super easy to clean.

I do not have a lot of clutter.

I love magdalenas fresh from the bakery.

I have mastered the art of making espresso.

There is really good wine for cheap.

There is really good espresso everywhere.

A 2-liter of soda is 60 cents.

The shopping possibilities are endless.

It turns out, I like ham flavored chips.

Barcelona loves Christmas and it is about Christ.

There is an ATM on every block.

I am a total Phineas and Ferb junkie and it is even better in Spanish.

I get to watch movies from all over the world on the TV.

When I talk to people from back in the US I have to use Skype. Which means I get to see their face as well.

Well that is all I will right for now. I know there is more to come.
