Hi Baba! Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I’m off travelling across Europe and enjoying my Easter break. I’m travelling with a couple of my friends from the dorms at ASU last year, Kody and Brian. We flew out to Paris last Friday, arrived in Barcelona yesterday, and tomorrow morning we fly to Rome!
Barcelona was beautifully warm and sunny today, around 70 degrees; I even got a slight sunburn. Since I was here in December, I took the guys downtown and we went to the big market off the Ramblas (the big commercial street in Barcelona). We picked up some fresh baguettes, meat, and strawberries for lunch and on the way out ran into a celebrity! This is actually the second famous actor we’ve seen in our travels — outside Sacre Couer in Paris we saw a woman named Famke Janssen that acted in the recent X-men and X2 films as well as Goldeneye, a James Bond film. The person we saw today was Drew Carrey, creator of sitcom the Drew Carrey show and host of the improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway. We were on our way out and he walked in followed by a cameraman and sound technician; he said he was doing a show for the Travel Channel.
After that, we walked down to the ocean, sat and ate lunch on the edge of the harbor, went on to visit the Barcelona cathedral, walked along the beach a bit, and sat and had dinner at a restaurant nearby. We have to be up really early (4am!) in order to get to our flight in the morning, so I’m going to head off to sleep now. Hope you’re well and talk to you soon!
Lots of love,
Michael
