Yesterday I didn’t do much, except for go to church, and go to the mall. I wanted to walk around a little, since I’ve been doing so much walking all this past week. I’ll take this moment to reflect a little on living in Barcelona.
We stayed in an apartment building in the city. Our room was the second from the top on the left side.
I loved it. There were people around all the time:
And there was a playground out front that was filled with laughing and screaming kids every afternoon:
If I didn’t like gardening so much, and if my job location would allow it, I would love to live in a high-rise building in the heart of a city.
I also loved taking the subway everywhere. It was so easy. There was a stop right in front of our building, and it could take you anywhere you would want to go (inside the city). I totally understand how people who live in subway cities can manage without a car.
I took some pictures so I could remember it. They were hard to get though. There seemed to be rules about privacy and eye contact and such when you ride the subway.
Yeah, public transportation definitely has its advantages. I wonder how people in big cities handle large purchases – just get them delivered?
That apartment seems so cool – very different from staying in a hotel!
