dear food why must you taste so good?

I went to Barcelona this weekend, which deserves to be blogged about, but I don't have the energy for that, so instead here is what Britt and I just did on a normal night in Spain ...

We have been wasting time for the past hour or so waiting until 10:30 when we planned a gelato "study" break. 10:30 just rolled around and we ran downstairs where we were met with freezing rain. We thought this might be a sign that we have already gained so much weight on this trip that we should not shove more desserts into out stomachs, but that didn't stop us. We ran in the rain without hoods and some how got mildly loss on the 7 min trek we now know so well (sign 2 that we should probably turn back). Finally we got to the gelato shop - it was closed, almost as though someone were telling us, "You're packin on the pounds, go back while you can." But no. We ran to McDonalds where they were out of Oreo McFlurrys, but that didn't stop us either. We got Kit-Kat flavored, because at this point nothing could keep us from late night binging.
After all was said and done we decided the freezing rain, loss of memory in the dark streets, a closed shop, and the wrong flavor were worth it. So worth it that we split a large fry too. We've realized that love handles are the price one has to pay for living in Europe for 3 months ... so maybe tomorrow we'll start eating healthy again?
