Our Hood:


We live in Poble Sec which we have dubbed Lil India because everyone that resides here is from East India, Pakistan, Morocco, or The Dominican Republic. We are not just the only blond hair blue eyed humans in our area but we are also the ONLY white people in our area. We walk down the street and everyone just stares. I mean I’m used to it because I’m cute as Hell but damn it’s everyday and every person here! There are a lot of families who live around us and many old half dead souls. Someone told me that near Montjuic is where a lot of old families live. These families have been in this area for centuries and since people don’t die they are still kicking in their flats. Montjuic is this awesome park that covers almost as much land as the rest of the city. There is an old fort that was used for shooting enemies who came by sea, hundreds of gardens, museums, a hotel, clubs, and spectacular city view. The Olympic village is also located in Montjuic. Kate and I were walking through Montjuic toward Placa Espanya when we saw a dude wearing an Ohio State Buckeye ball cap petting the grass near the museum! We talked to him and found out that college was too hard for him and he didn’t go, but that he was a fan of the Buckeyes probably because they win and he’s an asshole fair weather fan. His posse was touching the grass to see if it was real…yeah there’s gonna be fake grass in this million year old park next to a couple decades old fountain! Smart.
