Un con leche, un cortado y una pasta por favor



2.25 euros. That's how much the bill for two cafes con leche (espresso with frothed milk) cost at a local cafe near our apartment in Barcelona. After 4 days paying about 7 euros for the same in Paris, the difference was nothing short of staggering. 'I can live here' I thought. Next came the revelation that I had to look VERY hard to find a bottle of wine that cost more than 5 euros. Casa Torres Sangre de Toro was a mere 3.45 euros at the local grocery store. Hmmm... this keeps getting better and better.

Muitos dos produtos encontrados nos supermercados aqui me lembram muito o que encontramos nos supermercados no Brasil: queijo frescal, iogurte liquido batido (danup), uma variedade grande de congelados, bebidas alcoolicas vendidas no supermercado (não é permitido na maior parte do canada), leite de caixinha, etc. Meus pais se sentirão em casa.

Hola Alex! Good to hear that you already feel a bit "at home"! I'm glad you arrived well and found the appartment is OK (read on Alan's blog that it even is WOW!). Mucha suerte y que te divertirse en Barcelona. Aqui en Toronto estamos pensando de ti. Un abrazo muy fuerte! HD.

Hola H!

Vale, el piso es realmente muy bueno y estamos felizes ahora que tenemos internet! We still haven't made it to the old town or the beach but we did walk by Sagrada Familia when looking for our gym and saw the end of the Ramblas when we went to Plaza Catalunya look for the spanish school. If the weather is nice, we'll go check out the beach this weekend.
