Hostel Territory

So we've set off to Barcelona to live the dream and open our very own hostel. We're keeping this journal online to keep everyone updated of our progress, adventures and mishaps navigating Barcelona's booming tourism industry, Spanish bureaucracy, and daily life in Catalunya.

Back from Pamplona! Just doing some research on what to recommend to guests of course. Definitely not just a pleasure trip. Although we did manage to sneak in some fun. Props to our friends Andrew and Dalen who actually ran with the bulls, while some of us just watched from the sidelines and tried to get good pictures of the gorings. Lee and I were lucky (?) to score spots right at a turn on the route that led to a massive pileup of fallen runners that the bulls (with great ease) just completely trampled right over. You can see it on video here. I think it's around 0:54. The rest of the weekend consisted of a very rowdy bull fight, matching outfits, avoiding wine being thrown around, gingerly stepping over sleeping partiers and puddles of unidentifiable liquids, and general carousing.

In other news, we're very very close to signing our lease. The lawyer has a few very minor points to iron out before we can pop the bubbly. I'm still a little apprehensive to celebrate just yet, but hopefully everything will go smoothly. Dedos cruzados.
