Some More Pictures and a Festival of Fire and Lights

Hello my fellow blogreaders, just a quick post and some more pictures that I just uploaded from my camera. Today is Sunday, and Spain reveals its Catholic roots, with most stores closed and the beginning of the Feast of St. Joan festival. Some got started early yesterday, setting off impressive fireworks and readying themselves for an all night long festival with bonfires in the streets, extravagant firework displays, and reveling until morning. Oh, also, we have no school on Monday. Here are the pictures:

1. Hampsters and other pets for sale on Las Ramblas
2. View of Barcelona skyline from Park Guell (Conceived and completed by Gaudi)
3. Barcelonata Beach
4. Bullet Skyscraper completed in the last 10 years
5. Protest march of the youth movement over the high unemployment and support of corperations
6. Us off the Costa Brava, near Cayacae
7. Massive solar panel array on side of highway. Spain is leading the way in alternative energy production, the US needs to wake up!
8. Extremely delicious traditional Catalan dish with tomato, extra virgin olive oil, and garlic
