Chocolate and Shopping Adventures..

Today, we went to the Museu de la Xocolata, aka the Chocolate Museum. Our tickets were little bars of chocolate, it was so cute. It was refreshing because obviously they have to keep the chocolate cool so going from our extremely hot dorm rooms to the museum was so nice. Air conditioning never felt so good. There were a lot of chocolate sculptures that had to do with Barcelona and then there was a whole room of sculptures (I think they have a competition) of just random things like eggs and stuff. They even had The Pietà, which was incredible.



Of course the end of the museum dumped you out in a cute little cafe with all sorts of chocolates. There were chocolate lollipops, chocolate Sagrada Familias, chocolate liquers, chocolate vodka, and on and on. Chocolate everything. My own personal heaven.





After the museum, we wanted to check out a shop that I had read about online called WaWas that was supposed to have cool souveniors and whatnot. Well, they were closed becaue of Siesta. womp womp. The next mission was food...first we had to find some Dirty Turk for DJ, which was difficult because we were in the nicer part of Barcelona. Then we had to decide what the rest of us wanted to eat. We finally just went to Born which is basically a Rambla and it had a lot of nice restaurants. I had heard about one of them, Sandwich and Friends, so we ate there and it turned out to be absolutely delicious and cheap too! The next stop was a shop by the Picasso Museum that I had noted when we passed it that I wanted to see it later. We got some postcards that were ridiculously overpriced but hella cute. Then we stopped by a really cute jewelry store that had the cutest rings but none of the ones that I liked fit on my fingers...awesome. So not only can I not buy the shoes here, I can't buy the rings either. On our way back to the metro we decided to stop by WaWas again and it was open! It was not what I expected though which was kind of disappointing.

Tonight the plan is to check out the Ice Bar on the beach and then head to the casino! I wish I had brought my small camera with me so I wouldn't have to lug around my big camera everywhere but I definitely want pictures from the Ice Bar so it's coming with me.
