Finally real fresh air!

Well we are here in Barcelona. It is a nice city but its not my favorite. I do like how it does have a big city feel to it. There are many shops here alot of them name brands such as H&M and Louie Vaton. In way it reminds me of a spanish version of New York. We did take a guided tour that had alot of information to offer. We went to park that was just so alive. What I mean is that there was so much green and flowers that I, for the first time ever, saw, smelled, and felt what real nature feels like. All of spain is like that in a sense. There is no trash, and hardly any pollution. Everything is so clean. When you breath you don´t smell the gas fumes, trash, or sewage. It smells fresh, like when after it rains, you can get hints of water and grass mixed when you breath in.
The tours are fun but what i like most is walking around and exploring the city. I like to just walk and watch a listen to everything that is goin on around me. I understand spainish but not that greatly. I noticed that when I´m trying to listen to conversations the ones in english are then ones that pop out, becuase I understand them better. Alot of the Americans I´ve overheard seem to agree with me in the sense that Spain is alot more clean than the States. One couple was talking about how they didn´t want to go back home. They were on a cruise of some sort and they decided to stay an a couple of more days. As they walked away I believe I heard the female say they were headed back to California. California has the worst air in the US, so its understandable as to why they prefer this air. I find it amazing how you can just tell the difference.
Another thing I´ve noticed is that when we would walk into a gift shop they owners would always ask if we were mexicans. Naturally we would say being that we are of mexican origin. After saying yes, one of the men turned to the others as if to make the announcement that we were indeed mexicans. I´m not sure if there is any significance to that but I did find it interesting. In away I´m afraid to say I´m American. I´m not sure why its not like I´m ashamed of it or anything.
Well either way I am having fun. This is a once in a lifetime experience and I´m glad i was able to take advantage of it. I strongly encourage anyone who has the opportunity to take it. Well unitl next time...
