Hey, Brad Rosenberg!What are you doing?
![Page 4: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“Working.”
![Page 5: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

“Well, Okay, but you’ll owe me.”
![Page 7: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The first stop was a layover in Amsterdam.
![Page 9: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It was Christmas Time and Drugs were Legal!
![Page 10: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nancy Reagan says No to all of these people.
![Page 11: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The airport in Spain was not as festive as Amsterdam.
![Page 12: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But the vespas were adorable.
![Page 13: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And EVERYWHERE!
![Page 14: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
After a couple hours of aimless wandering,I found my friend Adam Katz at the Hostel.
![Page 15: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
He is a gentleman and a scholar.
![Page 16: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But he will attack you without warning.
![Page 17: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The hostel didn’t have much...
![Page 18: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
But they had many suggestions for entertainment.
![Page 19: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
For instance, we could go to the theatre.
![Page 20: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Or we could speed through Spanish Chinatown.
![Page 21: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
I decided to get drunk off of sangriawhile Adam watched.
![Page 22: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The bar owner liked us because we ~tipped~.
![Page 23: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
After drinking, we checked out some local grafitti.
![Page 24: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Then we went to sleep.Note: Adam bought pajamas in Spain,
and they turned out to be women’s tights.
![Page 25: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In the morning we walked down Las Ramblas, the most famous street in Spain…
![Page 26: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
…And we got a Spanish breakfast of tortillas patatas and tomato-covered toast.
![Page 27: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Once we were done, we looked around…
![Page 28: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
…And we found a public market!
![Page 29: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
One of the tables at that market sold MONEY!
![Page 30: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
…Which is kind of silly.
![Page 31: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Here is Adam showing off the secret Jewish money that all Jewish people hide in their shoes.He bought some at one of the money tables, and
apparently it’s from 14th century Spain.
![Page 32: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
After buying money (?), we walked down Las Ramblas some more...
![Page 33: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
…Enjoying all of the festive Christmas decorations along the way.
![Page 34: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
This is one of them, I assure you.
![Page 35: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
But what’s this?
![Page 36: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Why is everyone standing around watching nuns?
![Page 37: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Are these old men going to pole vault?
![Page 38: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Oh, I get it! It’s the Feast of the Immaculate Conception!
![Page 39: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Nice going, lady! We salute you.
![Page 40: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
After the ceremony, we stopped at a curious store...
![Page 41: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
...That sold only candy!
![Page 42: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The streets are really crowded in Spain...
![Page 43: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Really crowded!
![Page 44: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
This is why some consider Barcelona the pickpocket capital of the world.
![Page 45: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
I say “some” because I have no proof of this.
![Page 46: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Eventually Adam and I stumbled upon a Christmas Market.
![Page 47: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
A Spanish child’s favorite kind of toy is one that makes lots of nightmares.
![Page 48: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
This is the “Catedral Basílica de Barcelona”
![Page 49: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Adam couldn’t go in because it’s a temple for a false god.
![Page 50: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
But I could!
![Page 51: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Man, Catholicism isn’t this morbid in America...
![Page 52: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The cathedral was still under construction...
![Page 53: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
...But the roof had a pretty cool view.
![Page 54: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Look! It’s...Buildings!
![Page 55: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Adam and I got hungry after churchin’, so we went to an eatery.
![Page 56: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
I got some more patatas bravas.
![Page 57: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
And a Fanta in a weird bottle.
![Page 58: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Once we were full,Adam and I took a taxi to the cruise ship…
![Page 59: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Norwegian Jade!
![Page 60: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
We checked into the Cruise Ship. I continued to act like a tourist.
![Page 61: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
“This is the most decadent thing I’ve ever done.”“...”
![Page 62: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The ship appeared to have everything we needed.
![Page 63: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
“Our room is a little high up on this…14 floor ship!”
![Page 64: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
But we were still able to get to our room.
![Page 65: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
“So they’re NOT putting us in cargo?”
![Page 66: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
We asked Glenn, the ship photographer, what we could do onboard.
![Page 67: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
He said the ship had many clubs and bars.
![Page 68: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
And an art gallery.
![Page 69: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
And a casino!
![Page 70: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
And a performance theatre!
![Page 71: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
And a GYM!
![Page 72: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
And, of course, we could always hang out with the other retirees on the boat…
![Page 73: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
But we decided against that.
![Page 74: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Instead, we went to eat at the buffet!
Kosher
Delicious
![Page 75: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
After dinner, we used one of the omnipresent germ dispensers to clean up.
![Page 76: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
And we headed outside to say goodbye to Spain.
![Page 77: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
“Goodbye, Spain!”
![Page 78: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Finally, we ended the night by listening to a cruise musician play the greatest hits of the ’60s and ’70s.
![Page 79: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Adam was enthralled.
![Page 80: Brads Adventure The Beginning & Spain](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559defa71a28ab43468b4695/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
