Barcelona Lifestyles

Troy, Maryjane, Cuqui, and I went for an ultimate picnic in Cuitadella which is an amazing park just down the road from our flat.  It´s really nice! Cool fountains, fences, lots of grass for people to chill and do their thing on, and amazing views of the surrounding buildings and architechture.  Troy and I went on the hunt for some primetime breads while Maryjane hustled some meats and other goods from her dad´s shop.  We hit the market, packed it all up, and headed for a feast.  We had baguettes, really nice bread, fresh strawberries, avocados, bacon, sheep and goat cheese, olives, Miles Davis on the speakers, and Cookie to play with!  We handled the business like champs and relaxed for a while!  It was a really nice day!  Thanks guys!

When we walked back to the house, we heard some music coming down from one of the alleyways.  So we walked up to check it out and to our surprise was a parade of school bands playing drums and flutes behind other people dancing around in oversized costumes!  It was really crazy!

The next day Troy and I met Papayo and the Austrians at Arc de Triumph to go to Premia de Mar for a skate.  The Arc is badass!  After a train ride to Premia we walked a little ways to come across a super rad skatepark with a wicked blue bowl.  There were some other Spanish homies there too!  After shredding for a hours Troy made a sweet fire for everyone to enjoy.  It was a great time!

The next day we made it to a gypsy market where fools slang stolen goods collected the week before.  It´s basically a really hectic swap meet that´s super grimy but has a bunch of new gear.  Cameras, cell phones, clothes, jackets, all that shit!  It´s pretty dope.  We saw a lady yelling at another lady in Spanish saying ¨You stole my money!¨ The guilty gypsy chick denied it and woman who got stole on swatted the bills out of the gypsy´s hands.  Like 200 bucks fell on the ground! Another woman said ¨My wallet is missing too!¨ The gypsy lady started walking casually away but got chased down waaaaayyy down the street by a fuckin´mob of people!  It was gnarly!  We went across the street to meet up with some Austrians and there was this dude holding up another guy who looked like he was fuckin dead!  People were offering him help but he said no.  I don´t know man... it was weird.  We went to this multicolored building dubbed ¨The Dildo¨ where there is the most amazing spot.  A bunch of multicolored blocks surround an asphalt hill.. and right next to it are 2 sick bumps in a row. Wave style!  Of course, we shredded and shredded hard..

After the sun dropped we cruised home and I went for a walk with Cuqui!  Food, cruising, shredding... Barce life is good!
