Goodbye Cadaques

Back in barcelona.

After a day of traveling I'm back in barcelona. We had to take a bus from Cadaques to Figueres then from there take a train to Barcelona. The bus to Figueres is on one small windy road that is through the mountains. We sat in the back of the bus to get a view of the scenery, but that didn't work out for me. I got so motion sick that its a miracle that I didn't throw-up on my dad. My parents kept saying how amazing the snowy mountains from Andoura were but I just sat there trying to keep it together. As soon as we got to Figueres I got off the bus and lied in the grass I felt so much better then. The train ride is about 2 hours and 10euros (the bus is 5euros) so it takes time, and money, to get out to Cadaques but its such an amazing village.

Since Cadaques is so small Americans really don't go there. The time that we were there we were the only Americans around, I guarantee it. As we were leaving a destination wedding party from America was coming but other than that we didn't run into any others. It was nice because I felt like I really got away. So many places I've traveled, even though I'm in a new country I'm with Americans and I meet someone who knows someone else. Also since Cadaques is an old fishing village they aren't at all concerned with American culture I saw one guy working in a restaurant wearing an Obama hat but at least there were no "RIP Michael Jackson" things around. Its nice to know that I can completely escape everything American if I choose. I hope to find more places like Cadaques

It is nice though be back in Barcelona at the same hotel as before, which is such a nice hotel. There is still so much I want to discover about Barcelona.
