Barceloneta and Chelsea

A few days ago we went to Barceloneta. Barceloneta is a neighborhood of Barcelona that is right next to the harbor. We got to Barceloneta in the subway. We were supposed to take an immediate right to get to the aquarium but instead we took a slow right turn and we missed the right way: we ended up totally on the wrong side of the harbor. All around there were very cool buildings and restaurants. My first impression of Barceloneta was thinking that it was exactly like San Francisco, which I still do think now! We walked by a lot of restaurants, then by a large strip where people were selling all kinds of arts and crafts. There were necklaces, purses, and others. When we finally noticed that we had gone the wrong way, we had to walk all the way back down towards the old harbor. At the very end of the whole road was the big Aduana building, in other words an old customs building. In the harbor that we walked by, there were some pretty big ships, and also some sailboats that were always coming in and out. Once I also saw a gigantic cargo ship that seemed to come in and then go back out.

In Barceloneta we went to a very big aquarium called"L'Aquarium Barcelona". In the aquarium there were a lot of interesting fish and sharks. For instance there were some odd looking seahorse kind of fish that looked like a plant, except that it moved a lot so we could tell that it was a fish. There were also humungo sharks that swam over your head in the glass tunnel!

PS - you are probably wondering what the heck Chelsea has to do with this. Well, first, for those of you who don't know, it is an English soccer team. This is just a tip, but if any of the British teachers in my school ask you anything about soccer that involves the Chelsea team in any way whatsoever, always in some way or another answer "Chelsea is the best", or they will consider the answer wrong...
