Back to Barcelona

On our way back to Barcelona, we stopped in Nimes for two nights. We drove straight there after the bike tour was finished, so we arrived late, but in one piece. Nimes was a nice town and a perfect location for us to wind down from our trip. We played euchre sitting in the grass of the park, we saw more old roman ruins, we slept in, did laundry, and enjoyed eachothers company. I really think that it doesn’t matter so much what you do, but who you do it with. Fraser, Elyse, and Sheena are all awesome people, and the four of us made up Team Awesome.

To finish off the skidly theme of the week, I was taught how to shotgun my first beer (Elyse has photodocumentation). Once again, that night dissolved into patchy memories of fun but it was to be the last. The next morning (the morning we headed back to Barcelona) my body was really trying to tell me that my diet of croissants, wine, cheese and baguettes, more wine and little sleep was not making it happy. Sheena, Elyse and I decided that we would go off drinking and refined flours and sugars for a week to recuperate our bodies and hopefully regain some maturity.

It has worked (even though we didn’t last for the whole week) and I’ve had fun blogging the trip and going through all of the hundreds of pictures people took.
