sightseeing

i made a huge sightseeing tour today. in barcelona there are two different sightseeing bus companies and one of them is comparatively cheap: 21 euros for one and 27 euros for two days. i bought the two days ticket, which turned out to be unnecessary, as i already made all three available tours. i might try to sell my ticket tomorrow, but i feel that i might not be successful, as the ticket vendors are always around the bus stops.
the sightseeing was sweet, but as a village person the feeling grows that i wanna find a way to escape the city into the green. tomorrow, though, i might first see the parc güell and the montjuic. there are also various (and famous) cablecars (funicular), which i'm interested in. i fear, though, that this is another activity which isn't so much fun to do alone.
on the other hand i overcame my announced reluctance today and went to a restaurant to find some typical food. it was ok, but not great. (the experience as a whole and the food.) it was expensive, though, and i think that i can now quietly resort to more fast-foody things again as i now don't need to assume that i just didn't dare.
what else? i think, contrary to my habits and known pleasures i might go shopping tomorrow. i need some flip flops for the showers (eeek!) -- well, that doesn't count. but i also took a shine to the idea to buy a dress. well, we'll see. also, i need a map (for the getting out of here thing).
that's it. i'll try to upload some pictures now.

Hey Sweetie!!!!
My first day of work was OK - I hope it turns out to be better later!
I really hope you are enjoing Barcelona. I quite liked it, though I've only been there for one day....
Best luck and fun to you.
Love you a lot,
