I use a Fitbit to track my steps and just walking this past week, I travelled over thirty miles! Other than that travel, Park Güell is about 1.5 miles from my home in Barcelona so that was not a very long walk. Girona is about sixty five miles from Barcelona, and since it was a round trip to have dinner there, I travelled 130 miles on that journey. Next week we will be traveling even further!
Adding on all of my steps walked on this trip so far--thirty this week and thirty last week--along with my 130 mile trip to Girona, my total distance travelled so far is 3,840 miles.
As outlined aboveI did a lot of walking this week! I also used the buses that I told you about in my first field note. And even better... I managed successfully to use the metro! Once I found the station, it was quite easy and convenient to use the metro. All you need is a ticket and a keen eye to watch for your parada (stop).
We visited many interesting places this week within Barcelona, including MACBA, Barcelona's museum of contemporary art. There, I viewed a large and interesting collection, starting with exhibits from the early twentieth century.
