O.K… About the rest of yesterday:

We sat at the train station in Bobadia [sic] for the longest 7 hours of my life, which consisted of no food (well, a piece of bread), a little warm water, 48 degrees Celsius heat, two hours of card playing (“Hearts”) and no sleep since the rent-a–pig kept waking me up and bitching in Spanish. I didn’t understand him so I went back to sleep. He didn’t like it. We finally got on the train at 8:00pm and were seated with an Italian and a German both who spoke a little English. Well, to get right to the moral of this story we smoked three joints worth of hashish and the Italian took me down to the bar to drink 4 beers and some dry gin. He started arguing with the bartender for not giving him more beer so I left and went to bed, but three more Spaniards came into our room at around 3:00am so we were neck to neck in a little fucking room while nut case “crazy horse” was bitching & running up and down the halls. No sleep.

So tonight we got couchettes {sleeper cars} to Geneva (rapido). Well, today we hung out on the beach in Barcelona again and got kicked off a train about halfway through this entry for not having a reservation, so I’ll just play some cards!

Now it’s 11:00pm and I’m laying [sic] on the most comfortable beds in the world- on a train at least! It’s the best thought to know that when I wake up I’ll be with Rachel for a full month! Her mom will be happy to know that I quit smoking and so will she maybe. I’m going to bed right now so I don’t have to wait for it anymore. The time is here! Bonne nuit!
