BARCELONA: 17 hour bus ride, gluten free burger from Mcdonalds, old loud Spanish women on the bus, loud snoring men, retracing our Camino steps, crying my eyes out on the Barcelona beach, La Rambla, feeling overwhelmed at the amount of people in the big city, things being stolen and the police station that was bombarded by people who had, had things stolen, purchasing tickets to Milan a second time costing us about $300 all up, catching the overnight train, trying to communicate with my cabin roommate from Chile who spoke no English and snored SO loudly, in total disbelief about the thief that had occurred in Barcelona and being down a passport, camera, watch, glasses, book that I was really getting into, Eurail passes, License and bank cards.
