we’re off tonight to see a festival called “The Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, which is being held in a park on montjuic. since we couldn’t really read the flyer, we haven’t much idea what we’re about to see, but there’s music and it’s free so why not.

a full update will be coming soon, and photos as well. the trip has been great so far.. some of the most interesting parts have been at our hostel apartment. two american girls were staying here, and they and their friends ended up having some kind of altercation with the police at 3am and when they left this morning they weren’t sure whether their friends were in the police station or stranded somewhere in the city… never a dull moment!

update: the festival was great – it was up on a hill in front of this amazing elaborate building that was all lit up, and looked down on the city. The music was two women dressed up in shiny cocktail dresses and lounge singer wigs, who would take turns singing requests from the audience while the other sat in the background making faces like “can you believe this? look at her singing and waving her arms around, what a dork” and smoking cigarettes. And they were fantastic, belting out classic songs with verve. The finale was the best, they sang an aria from some opera as a duet, and at the end of these dizzying arpeggios the brunette would take a drag on her cigarette and then hit the high note with an enormous grin. brilliant.
