So we spent the majority of the day on the boat. Relatively uneventful and we spent more effort killing time than using it. So this post may be shorter that previous ones.
The night's sleep was not great. At first we tried to share the single bed in the cabin but after Megan's third or fourth trip to the floor she gave up and moved to the other bed. I, on the other hand, was not woken by so many changes in altitude as I was by the constant rocking. For some reason I kept thinking I was on a plane and that we were beginning our decent. It was not so pleasant. But at least we saved a good 18 hours of travel by using the ferry instead of the train.
We arrived in Barcelona at around 6 in the evening. It has a much more modern feel already than Rome could have. It is nice to see a modern metropolis, bustling and alive with all levels of development and decay. Kind of relieving actually. It is also nice to be able to speak some assemblance of the language. I was often frustrated in Rome trying to communicate having only rudimentary latin and spanish to fall back on in the attempt at communication. Here in Spain, at least I have a chance.
All right, that's all for now.
I'll update more as it happens.
