We got in last night and our trip here has been quite eventful. There was a celebrity on our plane, Peter Doherty. He dated Kate Moss, got her into a mess with drugs and is in a popular British rock band (I had to look him up too. K reads her US Weekly and was, thankfully, able to identify the drug addict). When the plane landed in Barcelona, the flight attendants notified us that we would be delayed from exiting for about an hour. Dirty Pete and his posse of friends started getting a little rowdy. One kept standing up claiming he had to ¨have a piss.¨ The poor flight attendant could only protest for so long until she caved. A little while later, the whole plane was surprised to see the Spanish police come on board. They let everyone off the plane except for the tall rocker, his obnoxious friend and the rest of their entourage.
We overheard a flight attendant say that a passenger saw Pete come out of the bathroom with a belt around his upper arm. His friend had to "have a piss" so he could flush the evidence (smart man). Later when we were waiting for a bus, we saw them all walk out of the airport, so they got off the hook. We were eyewitnesses to breaking international news! Check it out:

After searching aimlessly for what felt like an hour, we finally found the Sant Jori Hostel. It's a really cool place (read: clean) and so are our many male roommates (read: cute). We had a pot luck dinner last night, since our roomies bought too much spaghetti. We contributed cheese, crackers and gelato, our-go to meal since we've arrived in Europe. After dinner we all took a stroll down Las Ramblas, stopped at The Black Sheep pub to have a Well we are off to hang out with our new friends & plan our day tomorrow. We'll write again soon.
