Barcelona is not part of Spain

Barcelona is part of Catalonia, a separate entity which happens to be inside Spain... It does actually have its own autonomous government but still falls under Spain in other ways.. They also have their own distinct language which is described as a 50-50 mix of spanish and french but again i have been told by many that it is really a totally separate language. Right now at the hostel, we have full access to a computer and i´m uploading more pics from Paris and hopefully in the wee hours of the night will upload a lot more from the other areas of our trip. Keep yer fingers crossed. Tomorrow we are off to Avignon, France (hopefully), we might have a hard time getting a train at such late notice.. maybe take a bus or as our hostel neighbors say, hitch hike.. PS - there are tons of mullets in barcelona, more so than madrid, and we are documenting them with digital camera, detailed photo entries on the way. Bye for now, hopefully right more in a few hours.. its 12 midnight..
