Barcelona journal entry (Simon's)

Yesterday I came back from Barcelona . . . there I met the jolly green giant . . . Barcelona is a busy city at noon and some people there dress up in silly costumes and go out on the sidewalk and put a cup in front of them and stay in a funny position until someone puts some money into the cup and then they move to another position and so on.

One guy was in a costume that was just a small swimming suit and all of him was spray-painted green. When he saw me he came up to me and grabbed my hand and started to walk away. He said something in Spanish like he wanted me to wave for a picture, but I was confused and a little scared, so I ran back to my dad. Some of the students who were there said that they would have cried because he was creepy. It was weird.
