You Never Know Who You'll Meet...On The Street.

This weekend a small group of us students decided to make a journey to Barcelona, in Catalunya. Catalunya is quite a remarkable place, Its personality is unique to what i've seen from the rest of my travels in and around Spain. The language is officially Castellano but the influences of Catalan are noted immediatly by the residents strong accents and cut-off words. It seems like a mixture of Spanish and French (with more Spanish than French). The small groupof us  visited Gaudí's El Parque Güell. This photo is showing our group sitting on what is speculated to be the worlds largest park bench. While sitting on this park bench a member of our group asked a person sitting to our left to please take a photo. This man was kind enough to do so and when he was done He and I began talking. This man was a Swiss architect who was on vacation in Barcelona for the weekend with his wife. His wife, believe it or not, was from Barranquilla (a city in Colombia for those of you who don't know) and he had visited Caratagena (the city I was born in) as well. we talked for ages about my beautiful city as well as the economy and my future plans. You never know who you'll meet on the street, but there is a whole world out there with infinite possibilities. If one limits him/herself, life is not really worth living.
