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.

I guess somebody didn't like our cookies...

We're starting construction so yesterday we decided to remind the neighbors by leaving a letter in their mailboxes along with our contact info. Before we did this, we made a courtesy call to the Presidente of the loosely-affiliated renter community. During our earlier cookie meet & greet campaign, we only met his wife. We wanted to take the opportunity to meet him and get his approval to put the notes in the mailboxes.

Como se dice mistake?

Our warm American smiles and Wall Street apparel did nothing to impress this guy. In the millisecond before he slammed his door in our face, he managed to shout at us: I'm against this! We're all against this! We don't want a hostel! I can't talk to you! You'll be hearing from our lawyers.

Fabulous. Stay tuned for the next chapter in Us vs. the World...
