Zero has been nervous because he hasn’t meet a girl before :D But all of the guys give me a very big hug.
Zero is the host here, the white ghost dog, the monkey is Ape Apina, the little bear is TezTez and the last is Rico the Tiger, who has arrived just a few minutes before me.

Hello mom!
Today we went to the swimming pool! We were so excited!!
We went to the children’s swimming pool.

http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04072.jpg

And then we took turns to use the inflatable seat. It was so funny!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04073.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04074.jpg

http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04077.jpg

Ape Apina started to take a sunbath because he was the last to use it hahaha!!! :D

After this, we took a sunbath all together in the towel.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04079.jpg

And we got hungry!! So we ate some chips and some olives!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04060.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04061.jpg

Later, we went to investigate the place. Look! A wooden bridge!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04062.jpg

And a bit closer…
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04063.jpg

Where will this stairs take us? I helped TezTez to go up.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04064.jpg

Wow!!! It’s a picnic area! A very big picnic area! Look how many tables there are!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04065.jpg

Near from this there was a tennis zone with wooden benches.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04067.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04066.jpg

We continued our way and then we noticed that somebody was spying us…
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04068.jpg

R-Hello!!!
Z-Come with us!!!
T-Don’t be shy!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04069.jpg

A-Come closer!!!
D-We won’t hurt you!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04070.jpg

???-Hi! My name is Vassily and I’m a tennis ball. Sorry for bothering you. I was living alone here since I can’t remember…

Ohhh!!! How sad it is!!! Vassily told us he was abandoned for his family because he couldn’t play with them anymore. Zero told him that he could come with us, he was sure his mommy don’t get angry if he joined us.
So I’ve got a new friend!!!!
Bye mom!!!!

Hi mommy!!!
Today we have visited Camp Nou!!! So I get one of my life missions and Zero improve one of his!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00004.jpg

We enter by one of the lateral gates. Can you see all that shields in the wall? They are from each “penya barcelonista”, a community that brings support to a football team, in this case, Barça.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00008.jpg

This big truck is TVE, a national public television channel that will transmit live the match. Tomorrow there will be a Barça-Madrid match, the two most important teams in Spain. We have found a cartel that informed that.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00014.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00054.jpg

This is the principal gate to the stadium, but you have to pay to visit it.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00021.jpg

In front of this gate, there are some sculptures.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC00022.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC00024-1.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00030.jpg

And this is me with Barça flags and Catalonia flag.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC00043.jpg

And finally, outside the stadium, you can see “La Masia”, it was home to the Barcelona youth squad.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC00056-1.jpg

I’m so happy to get one of my life missions!!! Thank you guys!!! Are you happy, mommy???

Hi mommy!!!
Happy birthday for you and for me!!!!! Today we’re going to do a cake to celebrate it!!!!

These are the ingredients: 4 eggs, 1 yogurt (in this case, strawberry yogurt), sunflower oil, flour, sugar and baking powder.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04091.jpg

First, we beat the eggs
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04092.jpg

Then, we add the yogurt.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04093.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04094.jpg

With the vase of the yogurt we calculate the next measures. We add 1 measure of sunflower oil.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04095.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04096.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04097.jpg

We add 1 measure of flour (x3)
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04098.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04099.jpg

We add 1 measure of sugar (x2)
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04100.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04101.jpg

And we add the baking powder.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04102.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04103.jpg

We spread butter and flour in the baking mould and put the mix.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04104.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04105.jpg

We preheat the oven to 170º during 10 minutes and we place the cake inside during about 50 min. We can check with a hook needle if it’s cooked inside.
It's delicious!!!!

Hi mommy!
Today Zero will show us Sagrada Familia!!!! Ape Apina will come with us too, because he doesn’t want to stay home alone, although he visited it already.

Z-This is Sagrada Familia, an expiatory temple that means that this building it has been built from donations. You have to know that this temple is under construction, because it’s not finished yet!! Gaudí started to work on it but he died before the end of the construction. After this, many architects have continued the work. But you will see the differences…

So, here I am!! The old part…
Z-This is the original part by Gaudí. I think it’s so beautiful with a lot of details. It’s “Façana Naixement” (Nativity Façade) and explains with its sculptures the nativity of Jesus. It’s full of life (the same nativity and vegetals and animals).
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04110.jpg

… and the new part.
Z- “Façana de la Passió” (Passion Façade) by Josep Maria Subirachs. It represents the Via Crucis, reflecting the desolation, the pain and the death of Jesuschrist and it’s made withouth details and with austere materials.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04113.jpg

Hi mom!!!
Today is a special day in Catalonia. Today it’s “La Diada Nacional de Catalunya” (the National Day of Catalonia). This day people remember when Barcelona was defeated during the War of the Spanish Succession on 1714. A lot of people in Catalonia want Catalonia to be independent from Spain and this day a lot of people go out to the street to express themselves.
We have studied a bit about this part of the History and we have seen the manifestation on TV.
Ahhh!!! And Vassily has joined us!!!!

Happy Halloween to you, mom!!!!!
Zero has explained me that here in Catalonia they don’t celebrate Halloween as USA style. Here they celebrate “La Castanyada” and it’s a popular holiday. A long time ago it was a holiday related with funeral rituals but today is celebrated like an Autumn party or celebration. It’s typical to drink “moscatell” (an alcoholic drink like sweet wine) and eat “castanyes” (chestnuts), “moniatos” (sweet potatoes) and “panellets” (little individual cakes with dried fruits) which are what we’re going to make today!!!!

First we prepare the ingredients to do the paste.
We will grate a lemon.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04492.jpg

200gr of sugar
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04493.jpg

250gr of ground almonds
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04494.jpg

And a potato that we will boil
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04496.jpg

When it’s soft, we peel it and smash it. Then, we add the almonds, sugar and lemon and do a paste that we inwrap with a plastic film and put into the fridge about 6 hours.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04498.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04499.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04500.jpg

Six hours later, we will make “panellets”!!!
With a part of the paste we will make pine-nut “panellets”. They’re the most appreciate.
We do little balls, put them in egg and add pine-nuts.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04503.jpg

In another part of the paste, we add ground coconut and can give them a pyramid shape.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04504.jpg

And with the rest of the paste, we do a rectangular shape, put them in egg and add almond.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04505.jpg

Then we preheat the oven at 250ºC and we bake the “panellets” during 8 minutes.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04507.jpg

This is the result!!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04511.jpg

They’re delicious!!! Mom!!!! I've got half of one of my lifemissions!!!! To eat something typical!!!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04513.jpg

Just for fun, we have played “Trick or treat” as USA style!!!!
D-Trick or treat!!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04515.jpg

Hi mom!!!
Today we’re going to a mini postcrossing meeting! But it’s a special postcrossing meeting because it takes place in a solidarity event. It’s an event about to help playing board games.
So here we are, playing “Hey, that’s my fish!”, it’s so fun!!!!

Hi mom!
Today is “Dijous Gras”, the first day of Carnival festivities, and here in Catalonia is so typical to eat “butifarra d’ou” (egg sausage) and “coca de llardons” (crackling pancake). Here we are eating this!!!

Hi mom!
Today is the last day of Carnival festivities and here in Catalonia this day is called “enterrament de la sardina” (burial of the sardine). About why is called this way, there are a hypothesis, among others. First of all, to bury something is a way to forget it, to take leave of it… And the hypothesis is that the back-bone of the pigs was known as “sardine” and it was buried at the end of Carnival to start the Lent.
To celebrate it, we have eaten a sardine made of bread with chocolate. It was delicious!!!!

Hi mom!!
Today we went out for a walk and we went to the shopping center “La Maquinista”. “La Maquinista” is situated where the metallurgic fabric “La Maquinista Terrestre i Marítima” was in the past. Here you can see us taking a rest in front of the little park of “La Maquinista”.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04818_zpsf078328c.jpg
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04819_zpsc6ae6fb1.jpg

This is the large pond, situated in the middle of the park, named Narcís Monturiol (a Catalonian engineer, who invented the first crew submarine). It was built in order to take advantage of the two nearby water sources and it’s used to irrigate the park. Inside the pond you can see the large antique wheel that reminds us of the industrial past of the land. And the building near the pond is “Museo de La Maquinista y Macosa”, a museum which contains historical documents, plans, photographs, models and historical objects from the old factory.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04822_zpsb75ee7b9.jpg

The shopping center!!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04826_zps3dc94aea.jpg

After visit some shops, we take a rest in a lounge terrace.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04830_zpsfe5b4a55.jpg

Can you see the big clock on the floor??? There was a projector which projected the small hands of the clock to show the hour, but it’s out of order :(
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04836_zpsb923362d.jpg

In the first floor there are the restaurants, near another lounge terrace.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04840_zpsc930af98.jpg

It seems like a jungle!!!
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04842_zps868a8f3f.jpg

Before come back home, we met Tom and Jerry, who drove us in their sidecar :D

Hello mom!!
We spent the weekend at hostdad home, so we’re in the train to Sants, the central train station.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04874_zps184fd62f.jpg

In Sants we took another train to Gavà. The views aren’t so nice, just buildings, roads or industrial parks…

http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04881_zps0a98e7ad.jpg

Finally we were in Gavà!! This is the train station.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04887_zps2cdc5ab9.jpg

We did a bit of sightseeing while we went to hostdad home. This is the church.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04897_zpsdcff80bd.jpg

And in this little square there’s a grower with some asparagus.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04933_zps0f6100cc.jpg

We spent the afternoon at home and then we went to have supper at hamburger, in the shopping center.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04904_zps5fb89bae.jpg

Suny found a little palm tree and she wanted to climb it, just for training, because she wants a bigger one! We waited for her :)
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Suny/DSC04911_zps2e5f2578.jpg

Then we went to the hamburger and shared a big hamburger with fries. Good appetite!!

Hi mom!
Today we went out for a walk and we found some interesting places during our walk.
This is “Plaça Jardins d’Elx”, where a Lady of Elche’s bust is situated.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04936_zps29c8e5ab.jpg

And in the same square there’s “Parroquia de Crist Rei” a parish started built in 1924.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04943_zps407bf283.jpg

We continued walking and we found another church, but this is a quite strange church, “Iglèsia de Sant Joan Bosco”, inaugurated in 1974. When hostmom was a child, she thought it was a very big slide and she always wanted to slide for it. Poor hostmom!!! :D
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04949_zps2938c24f.jpg

In “Carrer Aragó” (Aragon Street), we found a sculpture dedicated to article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Zero/DSC04953_zps3c6fec67.jpg

Later, we saw “La Farinera del Clot”, a cultural center situated in an old flour fabric in 1852.
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r545/zerosdiary/Dona%20Felisa/DSC04965_zps516d1327.jpg

And finally, we arrived to “Les Glòries” where we saw “Torre Agbar”, a tower which is the see of the water company of Barcelona (AGBAR = AGuas de BARcelona). At night it’s illuminated by thousands of colored lights.
