Day 6: Barcelona



















We woke up and grabbed some breakfast and hit the streets with our peeps. This area reminded me of Times Square in NYC. The block is lined with people in extravagent painted costumes to make money. The guys on the right were smart. They blind you with a mirror every time you try and take a picture until you give them money. Only then can you snap a proper photo.
Doesnt this guy remind you of that movie Big Trouble in Little China?
We popped over to the Trust Nobody Store and found Julio had put Scott to work ;-)
Thanks to Julio for hookn me up with a rad shirt! Here he is hard at work ...
we bounced out and started wandering into vintage shops and misc. stores around the city. I snapped a ton of graffiti shots along the way ...
the picture on the right was a glass wall connected to the MACBA
The store on the left had some SICK lowrider bikes..
we made a quick stop into the museum of xocolata (aka museum of chocolate) and I snapped a few of the custom chocolates ...
This was a sweet looking vespa I saw outside of the museum.
more graffiti ....
The camper hotel entrance ... you cant actually gain access to the rest of the hotel unless you are a guest apparently.

Barcelona - Day 1












After some serious travel hours I finally made it to Barcelona... got a cell phone sorted, dropped my stuff at our apartment next to the Macba (Barcelona's Museum of Art aka skateboarders heaven) freshened up and hit the streets .... My partners in crime awaited ...



















stumbled upon a candy store with a fresh made batch.. best candy I've ever tasted.. was was warm on the inside and melted in you mouth.. mmmm...I turned around to find Nicole showing off a huge candy penis .. alex's expression .. fucking priceless!! haha
meals in barcelona takes place during specific hours and beyond that most restaurants are closed. so we scoured the streets and finally found a place across from the beach ... fresh seafood and cerveza ... we were famished ..
courtyards and markets are prominent here ...fresh fruits and seafood is where its at
little rest and we hit the town (its 4th of July in the states) Kick off the night at Betty Ford's (I think the name says it all). Hit up Club 13 for the 10 Deep/Crooks & Castles 4th of July Blow Up and closed it out at Otto Zutz Club for the launch of Frank France mag . The Burton and Etnies boys holdin' it down.....
