Today was a day that we will never forget! We slept in until 8:00am and then moved down the street to our new hostel! And we lucked out and got a 5 person apartment...so we have our own kitchen, shower, balcony, two twin and two double beds....and an oscillating fan!! Fans and A/C are very precious these days, especially when they are free!
Anyways, we stored our luggage at the hostel until check-in time and we headed to the beach! And my, oh my.....to say we were not prepared is an understatement! We learned more about the human anatomy than we ever knew! From topless women to bottomless men...we saw it all today! Here´s our question or where our confusion lies.....why were there men getting arrested by police for selling cold drinks and chips from their own cooler without a license to do so while the naked people were just hanging out and talking with no worries of ´indecent exposure´????? And here´s our other question, if you are going to take off the top half of the bathing suit, what´s the point of wearing the bottoms?? Let´s just say that our little eyes didn´t know where to turn except to our books, each other, or the water! We laughed until I thought we were going to cry and just prayed that no one around us understood our english commentary!
But after about 30 minutes of exposure, we became immune to it all and were not shocked by anything! After a great afternoon on the beach, we stopped by a cool restaurante to get some great fruit smoothies and head to the showers! Tonight is going to be a laundry night and then we are going to get ready to head to France tomorrow! Here´s a prayer request for all of you....we are taking a train from Barcelona to Montpellier, France with hopes that our connecting train to Bern will have 5 seats available! If not, we have to spend the night in Montpellier and we have searched and searched the internet for a room in this town...and everything is booked! So pray that we will be prepared for whatever curveball gets thrown at us tomorrow and that we will continue to trust the Lord to guide us....we have learned that many times each day! Also pray that we will do okay with the language barriers that will exist from here on out during our trip...because Christine and Jen´s Spanish skills only work in Spain!
Off to do Laundry and enjoy one more night in this amazing city! ¡Hasta luego!

It's easy to forget that nude beaches are common in Europe. Sounds like you guys made it through, and you can add that to your list of interesting encounters. Lots of love from AZ, and praying for you guys!

This is hilarious! I can just imagine Laurie's face and number of times she said "hum"! I'm laughing just thinking about it.

I echo Amber's comment!
K-TEE MASSEY....my little neice going to a nudie beach. When I read that, I thought of one song.
Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see,
be careful little eyes, what you see.
For the Father up above,
is looking down in love,
So be careful little eyes
