Barcelona (this is my song for)

Here are some pics from my trip to Barcelona, Spain. The last 3 pics at the bottom are from London, but they somehow got in this album and I simply had to post them.

Cheers!

I love that the taxis are different in every city. In preparing for this semester it was one thing that I can honestly say, I did not expect. I also didn't expect it to shock me, but it did.
"The Doors" in the back of the Hard Rock Cafe, Barcelona. Obviously, this wall made my night complete.
"City of Night! Whoo! C'mon!" Such a great song.

okay and so begins the 3 Londontown pics all taken in Camden. Above= me making an arse of myself ontop of a giant lion statue. Below= just some pics of the market. I had a thing with lions that day, i guess. The pic of the huge lion below was super fascinating to me... and in fact, it still is. I <3>
