Arrival in Barcelona 2009
We roamed the streets for a bit looking for a cheap place to stay. Kenny Hughes and Vern know all the sketchy spots and continually warn us about thieves. Last night while I was in the lobby, some lady was telling the desk guy how she met a nice man here who spent an hour talking to her and showing her around. He then stole her purse. Another couple in the lobby sitting next to us from California was pick-pocketed just now and is waiting to use the computers here so they can email all of their credit card companies. They had just spent several hours in the police station where they met several other travelers in their situations. It's shady here, but other than that, Barcelona is a beautiful place
