Another ol Day in Barce

So this morning I woke up to jetlagged Allison knocking on my door at 9 am complaining about her AC not working. She said get up and lets go to downtown to the market and grab some fresh juice. So we proceeded to the Lesseps metro stop just a few blocks away. Here is Allison checking into the metro station.

This inside the metro where you wait for the train.

After one or two metro stops we arrived to Liceu on the L3 metro line. Right when you exit the metro you will see La Boqueria (huuggee open market) on your left hand side. According to my travel guide, It's actually the largest market in Europe. I was surprised how big and organized this market was. Its the San Francisco Embarcadero farmers market on steroids. Different goods are separated into different sections. For example they have the seafood, fruit, meat, and baked goods all in their own quarters.

This is inside La Boqueria. I got a nice pineapple coconut fresh drink for 2 Euro. I cant wait to go back and try some fresh fruits.
