Trip from Barcelona to Paris

Hello Everyone.
Our trip from Barcelona to Spain was quite adventerous. We did not book our train ride until the day before.... note to self, never do that again! All of the sitting room was already reserved, so if we wanted a direct train ride from Barcelona to Paris it was going to cost us an extra 70euro's each on top of our already paid train passes! Luckily the man behind the counter spoke a little bit of english because kirks spanish skills didn't really include stuff about train rides. He was able to tell us that if we wanted to catch a different train out of barcelona to another city then we could catch a train from there to paris that would only cost us an extra 17euro's each, becuase all the sitting room was reserved so we'd have to get beds. We obviously decided to do that instead of paying the 70euros.
The train ride out of barcelona to this weird city was quite interesting. A train arrived at the time ours was suppose to leave at the right platform. Unfortunatly this train station did not have any posted signs as to where the next train was heading etc. sooooo about 200 ppl hoped onto this train thinking is was the right one. Most of these people were american students, and therefore pretty much Everyone crammed onto this train was confuesed as to if we got on the right one. Luckily Kirk heard some spanish lady that said it was the wrong one getting off at the next stop up, so we decided to fallow her! Turns out she was correct! Fuef!!!
About 4 stops down the way on the "right" train now, all the american students caught up with us again! This was rediclious.... we were all crammed onto the train like sardines. Honestly we could not move and were standing for the whole 2.5 hour train ride. It was 30 degrees outside aswell, so as you can imagine we were all sweating buckets and eventually even the windows of the train started to sweat and steam up. It was not fun.
Finally when we arrived in this town, both kirk and i had to pee. we found the washrooms but were so discusted by them we both decided we could hold it! haha. lets just say we didn't need to pee That bad!
The train to paris was very nice. I think the beds were 17 euro's well spent seen as the train left at 9:30pm and arrived in paris at 7:30am. We watched a movie on my i-pod and slept the rest of the night!
We are staying with some family friends of Kirk's in paris here for 3 nights. Then we are moving to a hostel becuase they have relatives comming to stay with them from Toronto acutally. This morning we walked to a local market and have bought some lunch which kirk is cooking up now. This afernoon we're planning on going to see the efel tower! Woot. We are here until Monday, so i'll report later on paris.
We havn't figured out how to upload picutres yet on this computer, it's not letting us. but as soon as we do i'll post them.
hope everyone is doing well.
xoxo
