And I am /not/ going on an airplane again until my blood pressure is better.

On this trip we learned that, if one member of your group needs a wheelchair to get from place to place without fainting, the whole group can often go to the get-through-lines-fast areas. 

Also I got some cool sea glass. 

My brother bought a folding knife at a really old knife shop. Cool thing is the entire knife, handle and blade, is only 3cm long. The blade is maybe 1cm. And it folds! It’s a proper knife, just tiny.

Somewhere over half the balconies here in Barcelona have houseplants on them, and about 1 in 10 are covered at least halfway. A couple balconies look like mini jungles. I’m not surprised, the city smells like car exhaust and cigarettes, typical for a big city. Also, Spain has a good climate for cacti, so lots of people have either desert or jungle cacti on their balconies. Even entire small trees in pots. Or not-so-small trees, I’ve seen multiple pots that must have been three feet across on some larger balconies. Plants all over the insides, too.

fun thing i just remembered

in japanese, there’s a term for a person who dual wields swords called “ryoutoutsukai”, literally meaning something along the lines of “two sword user”. it’s ALSO a euphemism for bisexuality

Duel-wielding is bisexual culture
