Life Coaching Gives You The Tools To Recharge Your LifeMany people turn to life coaching in order to give their lives a boost and reconnect them to their dreams. But often, we don't even realize we've gone off track until the negative symptoms start to appear. Depression, health problems, financial problems, and family stress are some of the indicators that you simply need to hit the reset button and get back in touch with what you want for your life.
A life coach can provide the support you need to get back on track. You may even find that you in turn are then able to give this support to others. But first, it's time to recharge, revitalize, and get your life back in prime shape.
Hit A Snag? Here's How Life Coaching Can Improve Your Quality of LifeThere is no finish line for most of the challenges in our lives – in fact there is always room for improvement from where we stand right now. We're always growing, learning, and expanding. A life coach can be the trusted ally that invigorates every corner of our life experience.
•Health and fitness. One area we all need motivation in is the care of our bodies. Whether you want to jump-start a workout schedule, or design a diet your body loves, a life coach will help you find the strength and self-control to stick to it.
•Family. When it comes to family dynamics, an objective viewpoint can often help us let go of ego and find loving ways to live together that honor who we really are and want to be.
•Relationships. A life coach can help you heal your relationships and get the most out of them, soaring with your partner to new heights of understanding and love.
•Career. We live in an era where almost every industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies and new ways of working. Life coaching sessions can help make business trends work for you, as you reach for a career you love.
•Beauty. Yes, even your personal beauty regimen can be improved by a life coach. Why? The key to looking great is feeling great. Learning how to prioritize taking care of your body, mind, and spirit is a total lifestyle choice that always results in you looking your best.
What Do Professional Life Coaches Know That Friends Don't?
We all can use the advice of a good friend when trying to make sense of our daily challenges. But even the best-intentioned friends can lack the objectivity and training that gives advice the muscle to create positive and lasting change. Taking those good intentions to the next level is what life coach training is all about. Here are some of the ways that a certified life coach can cut through resistance and clear a path to a happy, fulfilling life:
1. Setting intentions. Putting your goals into words is the first step to achieving them. Life coaches will help you transform negative thought patterns by encouraging you to define life in terms of what you want, not what you don't want.
2. Removing roadblocks. Sometimes we are so close to the saga of our own lives that we can't see the obstacles that are blocking our progress. Whether it's old pain and regret, or unspoken fear and insecurities, a trained life coach can lift the fog and help you eliminate any impediment to your happiness and success.
3. Seeing potential. Life coaches not only help you achieve goals, they are able to see the potential in you that you may never have fully embraced. Life coaching challenges you to rise higher than you ever dreamed possible.
4. Making a plan. Once you have identified your dreams and removed all obstacles to achieving them, a life coach will help you outline a concrete plan, with a step-by-step course of action you can follow to get there.

Charter Service Passenger Testimonies
"Can I ask that you pass on my thanks to the crew (Matthew, Anthony, and Jenny) of the independent charter to Aurukun last week, as well as the ground crew staff, for their fantastic effort to catch the 4:55 flight to Brisbane. They went above and beyond! Much appreciated and I made the flight with at least 5 minutes to spare."
Passenger name withheld
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank your organisation for my recent trip…the reception was so professional and the staff were very courteous and helpful in every way. We were shown the facilities of the terminal and as fellow travellers arrived, the introductions were cordial and friendly which created an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation of that which was to come.
On being introduced to the flight and cabin crew it became obvious that this was going to be a truly friendly, exciting and adventurous 10 day journey.
Every day was filled with highlights, created either by the cabin and/or flight deck crew. Each one of the members were outstanding in their respective areas of expertise. The skills of the pilots manifested in a most enjoyable journey. The Flight Director, Jenny, was exceptional. Her attention to detail on procedures to be taken in the event of any flight emergency that may or may not occur were extremely well presented and her mannerism was very reassuring, particularly for first time Bill Peach travellers like myself.
I would like to convey to your organisation my appreciation for providing first class service as well as attending to the finest details. Accordingly, I have now booked and reserved a position for a further 2 tours this year, that being the 12 Day Australian Air Cruise in July as well as the 12 Day Classic New Zealand Air Cruise in November. There is a strong possibility for a further 3 cruises with your organisation in 2009."

On Thanksgiving Day, Alex Sims turned 100.
The Van Wyck man credits his long life to hard, but satisfying work on his 225-acre farm at the corner of U.S. 521 and S.C. 5. He bought the land after two stints in the U.S. military.
"It doesn't matter how much money you make if you like what you're doing. Keep it up," said Sims, who cut his own winter firewood with an axe until he was 97. "You have to love your life."

Dakota Mattert Comeback edit 1
When I moved back to San Jose in 2011, Dakota was one of the first people I really clicked with. Anybody who's crazy enough to spend almost 10 years riding a BMX bike has to be a little bit crazy, and I get to share that craziness with Dakota. We started working on this edit in mid-March and it's been a blast the whole way through.

Built within a redevelopment project by Atelier Jean Nouvel on Île Seguin, this colorful maritime pavilion educates visitors about Renault cars. It's made from 20 and 40-foot-long corrugated steel boxes, all of which measure the same height. The sturdy boxes were outfitted with windows that let plenty of natural light in, and the entire complex was constructed with very little waste.
Mounted on a wooden platform, the pavilion hosts an exhibition dedicated to the history of the old Renault factories — some of which were located on the same island. There is also space for a meeting room, offices, a shop and a restaurant with a long communal table that makes the most of the containers' length. Once again, architects have proved that shipping containers can be repurposed as affordable, sustainable building blocks for temporary modular structures.

Well, congrats, mom! Had she gone through any other changes of puberty yet? Usually the period comes after leg hair, smelly pits, and breasts.
I just bought my DD her first bras, and she's 10. She's the last one of her friends to start developing!
My daughter is also 9. It seems like lots of young girls are going through puberty early. Mine is not, but I've explained what happens. Have you seen the books by American Girl? I would make sure she has some books that explain things in a way a 9 year old girl can understand.
Good luck, Mama. I think I would go out for ice cream... something that helped me feel like my baby girl wasn't so grown-up.

At this intersection of 65th and Indian Creek drive, every morning cars going north on Indian Creek do one u-turn after another (even though it's illegal here) instead of having to go down 2 blocks and turn around. The cars then going west on 65th street trying to get to the 63rd street bridge, are prevented from doing so by these U-turn offenders.

Unfinished Construction for 11 years! GIANT EYESORE! ► Open533-535 West Ave Miami Beach, FL 33139, USA
This entire lot between West Avenue and Alton Road, and 6th Street and 5th Street has been under construction since 2000. Nothing has ever been installed here, nothing has been built, or ANY construction commenced. All we have had is 11 years of exposed rebar. It's the first thing many tourists see when coming into South Beach, and you'd think from a "life-blood tourist business" aspect someone would want to fix this. I realize someone owns this land, and obviously doesn't have any money to build. At the very least, the owner should pay to cut all the rebar out, tear down the fence and plant grass.· Reported by John (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

Who Reads my Blog?
I see little peaks of what I assume is interest when I tweet that I've written a new blog but no one ever makes a comment. No one ever says, 'hey I read your blog, wouldn't it be cool if you talked about.....' No one ever says 'you've made a typo, this should say....'
I know you're all there lurking. From USA, Russia, Germany, Argentina but none of you say hi.
So anyway, I'm conducting a little experiment with a bribe to sweeten the deal for you.
The first 2 people who comment on this post to say they read my blog will get a FREE coupon HUSSY which is usually priced at $2.99 (available to purchase as an ebook via smashwords). Any one else who makes a comment and says hi within the next 24hrs will get a 67% off coupon, making the book $0.99
HUSSY, if you've forgotten is my second Bruised Boys BDSM Tale and tells the story of josh and his first forced bi experience.

How real is the cloud? Evidence from IBM, Amazon
Yesterday, we ran a story on a Yankee Group survey showing that the economy had slowed many companies plans to adopt so-called cloud computing efforts. Oracle's outspoken boss Larry Ellison has also been pounding the approach, dubbing it "water vapor" in one report. But there's some proof of momentum and growth as well.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Adeleke, Rasheed Adegbola email@example.com URN etd-11112010-181933 Document Title Biobeneficiation development for the reduction of potassium and phosphorus from Sishen iron ore Degree PhD Department Microbiology and Plant Pathology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof D Khasa Committee Co-Chair Prof T E Cloete Supervisor Keywords
- biobeneficiation
- Sishen iron ore
- sodium (Na)
- potassium (K)
- phosphorus
Date 2010-09-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractHigh levels of elements such as sodium (Na), potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) in iron ore minerals are known to reduce the quality and price of these minerals. South Africa, as one of the world largest exporter of iron ore, is affected by this problem. Both potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) are peculiar to South African iron ore. The present study has therefore focussed on developing an environmentally friendly biological method for lowering the levels of K and P in iron ore minerals. Short and long term experiments were set up to isolate, identify, screen and test potential bioleaching bacteria and fungi from different environmental samples.
The study started by investigating the possible relationship that exists between weathering and bioleaching processes. The investigation was intended to provide relevant information on the natural role of microorganisms such as ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in the mining environment. The experiments involved the use of both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal Pinus patula seedlings for the weathering of iron ore minerals. Four types of ECM fungi were used, namely Pisolithus tinctorius (PT), Paxillus involutus (PI), Laccaria bicolor (LB) and Suillus tomentosus, (ST). From the results, ectomycorrhizal weathering can be said to be species-specific and significantly influenced by fungal type and particle size. In addition, it was also discovered that both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots can participate in weathering processes.
Further investigations of ECM fungi when not in symbiosis, were carried out to know how or if they can be potential candidates to mobilise K and P from iron ore minerals. The experimental set up involved in vitro pure cultures of four different ECM fungi, namely Pisolithus tinctorius (PT), Paxillus involutus (PI), Phialocephala fortini (PFR), and Suillus tomentosus (ST). In addition, the treatments involved the use of five different particle sizes of each ore type. The results obtained indicated the potential of the ECM fungi to mobilise P and K from the two iron ore types though at different levels. Factors such as ore type, particle size, organic acid production and attachment of the fungi to the iron ore were all found to influence the mobilisation of nutrients from these ores.
Another experiment that addressed some of the limitations encountered with the use of pure cultures of ECM fungi was conducted. Isolated indigenous fungal pure cultures from the surfaces of iron ore minerals were screened for their abilities to solubilise minerals by lowering the levels of K and P. These isolates were identified molecularly as close relatives of three genera that included Penicillium, Alternaria (2 isolates) and Epicoccum for isolates FO, SFC2/KFC1 and SFC2B respectively. The identified Penicillium sp. turned out to be the only phosphate solubiliser among these isolates. Direct bioleaching capability of the fungus was compared to that of its metabolite. At the end, the metabolite showed better K removal than the direct use of the fungi. Interpretation of these results indicates possible relationship between K and P removal, and the organic acids production by this fungus. Other factors such as particle size and mineral type were also found to significantly influence the leaching process.
Additional experiment was conducted to investigate the indigeous bacteria and their potentials in reducing the K and P contents of iron ore minerals. A total of 23 bacterial strains that belong to Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobateria were isolated from the iron ore minerals and identified with molecular methods. All the bacterial isolates were screened for their potential as mineral solubilisers. Only eight of the isolates were selected and used in shake flask experiments that contained both KGT and SK mineral types as their sources of K and P. The experiment showed that all the eight isolates have potentials to produce organic acids especially high levels of gluconic acid but lower quantities of acetic, citric and propanoic acid. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared (FITR) analyses also helped to uncover the role that biofilm and extracellular polymeric substances could play in mineral solubilisation.
Finally, an investigation of a new method for reduction of K and P levels of iron ore minerals was carried out, focussing on the use of cheap resources as well as septic conditions. The study involved the use of fermented spoilt grape fruits (Vitis sp.) and the solution from the product utilised in shake-flask experiments. Treatments involved two types of iron ore minerals (KGT and SK) and two different particle sizes. The result suggests the significant effect of particle size, time and organic acids on the reduction of K and P from the iron ore minerals. The important part of this finding is the discovery of a cheap microbial energy source (spoilt grape) that can be further exploited for full biobeneficiation of iron ore minerals. Another advantage of this method is the fact that the experiment can be conducted under nonûsterile conditions, making it a system that can be operated outdoor.

Creepy Crawlies and Other Things That Bump Up Our Determination
- by Kim Watters
It was a dark and stormy night… Okay, so it wasn't exactly stormy, just a light gusty breeze, but it was dark and late. Finally, after a thirty minute commute from my local chapter meeting, I pulled into my garage, a little road weary and at the same time overjoyed I actually made it back to watch the late news on television. When the automatic garage door went up, my brain registered that one thing a woman does NOT want to see in the garage. And not just any where in the garage but in that three foot space between the door jambs. A big, fat, hairy tarantula. And it's between me and my nice, safe house.
Folks, we're talking BIG here. Apparently, it's out hunting. Okay, breathe; those Lamaze classes certainly come in handy four years AFTER labor. I contemplated my next move. I could wait it out. NOT! Tarantulas are nocturnal. I could sleep in my not so comfortable car, or I could get out and fight the do I need to reiterate big and hairy spider? In between bouts of irrational musings, I decided to get out of the car and show this arachnid who's the boss.
Not an easy feat for someone deathly afraid of anything with more than four legs. Stems back to childhood which I refuse to talk about. With husband and children in bed, I had no choice. So spying the offensive creature lying in wait for the unsuspecting dinner (ME) to cross his path, I grab the nearest thing that resembled a pole to shush the thing onto darker, stormier journeys. Now I know why I've kept that old broken shower curtain rod by the garage door all these years. I finally could put it to good use.
Let me tell you, Harry was huge. Oh, excuse me…I did tell you this before, but this great brown beast with eight legs was bigger than a breadbox. Hey, it's my story and I can exaggerate. This particular spider was bigger than the last one I evicted. Harry Jr. must have been the son or daughter old Harry here, but believe me, I wasn't about to check the sex as I showed it the door. Junior went quietly into the big box. Harry, on the other hand, wouldn't give up his nice comfy surroundings with abundant food and some semblance of protection without a fight.
Did I mention tarantulas can JUMP? Fascinating as they are to watch each fat, hairy leg stretch and move in a synchronized fashion like those swimmers at the Olympics, this particular one wanted no part of "There's the door, now stay on your side and I'll stay on mine and we'll all be happy" tune. Nope. He kept trying to turn around and crawl back in. And I kept poking him with the metal rod in the direction of the great outdoors. After five minutes, victory was mine.
Which got me to thinking about determination. Harry was determined to stay in my garage. I was MORE determined to evict the huge, hairy beast. The one with the most determination gained the prize. Just as I won in the writing world.
Did I let Harry get the best of me each time he turned around and tried to crawl back into the garage? No. I kept at him, prodding him along. Ergo, did I let each rejection letter end my dreams of being published? No. I kept taking classes and reading articles and honing my craft. But most of all I kept submitting. I kept at it against all odds even when it seemed like I had enough rejection letters to paper my bathroom wall.
Even when Harry lifted his big, fat hairy you-know what at me,– it's a defense mechanism so I've been told – I didn't let him stop me from my dream of a Tarantula free garage. (or at least the idea that I couldn't SEE any more of them)
It's that way with writing, folks. It's a spider-eat cricket world out there. If you don't have the guts to keep trying, get out of the way of those authors who will. Because in the long run, all your hard work and determination will pay off. Eventually, I found an editor who got my work. You will, too.
So that's my story and I'm sticking to it, until tomorrow night that is when Harry, gargantuan beast, lifts the garage door by himself and crawls back in, or I receive another one of those SASE's containing a "Thanks but no thanks" form letter. As before, I'll be ready. I'll pull out that long pole or log onto my computer again and start the process all over again.

Yes, great analogy. As one who took thirteen years to find that editor that 'got' my voice I heartily concur. I'm also absolutely gut-churningly-terrified of spiders I'd have woken my dh and dragged him bodily from the bed to deal with your Harry. Or rung him from the street, LOL!

Future Shortage in Bedside Nurses - page 4
I have been an RN for 22 years. In recent years, we all know that the trend has been for acute inpatient facilities to try to hire BSN nurses as much as possible. However, another trend that I am seeing, both here on these forums... Read More
- 0Aug 30, '12 by mmc51264I have an ADN, but will get my BSN because here in the Raleigh area, the hospitals are all drifting toward the magnet thing and you pretty much have to have a BSN to get in. I am working in a rehab facility associated with both a hospital and a LTC. I do not want my MSN (already have a masters in teaching) and I don't want to manage, supervise or be a NP. I AM interested in becoming certified in gerontology and/or rehab. I realize that being new, I am not burned out yet, but hope to stay at the bedside.
- 5Aug 30, '12 by HouTx GuideQuote from westieluvThis situation is due to the fact there there weren't any 'bedside' jobs for MSNs - but this is changing. In my neck of the woods, hospitals are changing their staffing/care models to include MSN roles because they have FINALLY realized how beneficial this is to patient care. There is a lot of evidence that advanced practice nurses, whether you call them ClinSpecs or Clinical Leaders or something else, can really make a difference in patient care.That's what I've noticed too, that everyone seems to be going back to school for their MSN. I can't think of a single nurse with their MSN who works on the floor either.
This trend began in specialty units, but is rapidly catching on in other areas. The AP nurse is being used to support hands-on education, provide real-time clinical expertise/support for staff, conduct bedside research to improve nursing practice, work with physicians to improve outcomes, support project implementations, etc. This also gives the nurse manager sufficient time to focus on the fiscal and administrative operations... better outcomes for everyone.
- 12Aug 30, '12 by knoyes1There is a nursing shortage at the bedside because nurses get tired of being treated like crap. They get treated unfairly by patients, families,supervisors, and co workers.
Who is going to stay in that environment.
I recently was literally cursed out by a nursing shift supervisor for no good reason. If I had cursed her out I would have been fired.
There were even wittnesses. She still has a job and is allowed to be part of my evaluation. I am stuck in this profession as this is all I have ever done for over 20 years.
I need the pay check.
- 3Aug 30, '12 by bardoneI'm changing careers and applying to direct-entry NP programs and ABSN-to-NP programs this fall. As an NP, I'd be *thrilled* to work as a bedside nurse!! I really enjoy the work I've done as a CNA and can't imagine being an NP who doesn't like bedside nursing.
The reason I'm going for an NP is because I'd like to have the autonomy/authority to diagnose and manage patient care in addition to providing it. I guess I don't see those things as mutually exclusive. It's pretty weird that folks would want to enter the nursing profession in order to avoid working with patients, IMHO.
I do hope that being an NP won't push me out of bedside nursing. I'd think that my training would make me much more valuable on the floor than behind a desk.
- 2Aug 30, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from itsnoworneverThe question is.....are you willing to add to your knowlege base at the same pay.I have my BSN and I have every desire to get my MSN and move on up to my DNP...at least that's the plan for now...but the reasons I want to do it are totally different than what you are talking about. I have done my "management" time in the military and am darn sick and tired of managing people. I am a floor nurse all the way. That's why I got into this. My reasons for wanting the advanced education? Here goes:
(1) I have two young children, 9 and 8, and I want them to actually SEE me achieve higher education. They saw the struggle for the BSN and I did it, and I want them to see the rest of it, I want to be an inspiration to them.
(2) I have a strong desire to teach. My ultimate goal is to go back to my school and teach there. I'm already talking to the deans and instructors to see what I have to do to work as a substitute there.
(3) my mother never placed much stock in me finishing my nursing degree, getting a job or being good at it, so it's kinda of "you know what" to her for me to continue with my education (I dont talk to her, I dont like her, wouldn't care if she dropped off the face of the earth)
(4) I want future nurses to see that you CAN get advanced degrees and STILL work well on the floor, adding to your knowledge base will only HELP the patient.
- 4Aug 30, '12 by MaritimerQuote from subeeBio chem is required for some BSNs. I had to take organic chem; couldn't have passed the required biochem course without it.If bedside nurses had to take organic chemistry there wouldn't be any bedside nurses. You don't need organic chem for BSN. If working conditions were better, BSN's would stay at the bedside. All these new grads who want to go for advanced degrees don't know enough to see the unexpected coming up to slap them in the face. Young dreams have a habit of getting put on the back burner when it comes to raising kids, borrowing money, etc.
- 10Aug 30, '12 by LilacHeartIn the quest to become "magnet", hospitals have tossed out the nurses who truly felt called to bedside nursing and remain there: The Career LPN. The LPN who loved her job, didn't mind "the mess", and thrived on giving bedside care has been told she's not "enough" and relegated to working in LTC, HHC or prisons (not that there is a thing wrong with any of these, but the hospital option is pretty much gone now - but the hospitals will have the need!).
LPNs need to be brought back into the hospital systems.
- 2Aug 30, '12 by Ruby VeeQuote from rita359I've noticed the same thing. People start in our unit with the idea that they're going to apply to anesthesia school "next fall." Since our orientation is six months, someone who applies to anesthesia school is probably starting the application process while they're still on orientation and leaving the unit before they've been there a year. The ones that stay longer are the ones who got passed up by anesthesia schools -- and they'll try again next year. It's the rare nurse who is at the bedside because she or he wants to be at the bedside.As I observe all the new nurses coming into my hospital I don't see a lot of them staying at the bedside. A lot of student nurses are planning bsn only as stepping stone for another specialty such as np. It is sad to say that after I retire and need health care a lot of the nurses who would be caring for me would only be there, not for the love of it, but because they hadn't yet moved on.
With all the new grads taking bedside positions only until they "get something better," I suspect that when I'm old and demented, the only nurses taking care of me will be the ones with no experience who are waiting for that magical "something better." What a sad state of affairs!
- 5Aug 30, '12 by nursynurseRNI am one of those nurses who have gotten higher degrees so I can get away from bedside nurseing. I havent sucessfully been able to leave bedside nursing yet. I have six years floor nursing experience under my belt with that I have about a year home health nursing experience and 3 years LVN on the floor too. I got my BSN and now doing my MSN with an ultimate goal to ba a NP. Now a days floor nursing is getting harder and harder. I work at a county facility and as a floor nurse, i do my own lab draws, transport my own patients to radiology, OR, CT or where ever on a moments notice, do all the nursing things and including ADLs becasue the nursing assitatn has 24 patietns of her own. SO that is why when I work a 12 hour shift i am exhasuted. I do feel a great sense of accomplishment at the end of the day especially if i helped saved someone life. This is just a bit too hard to work though forever. I feel too stresed and angry and that cannot be healthy.so I can see why bedside nursing will be short. Once all the older bedside nurses retire there will only be very little nurses who will stick it out in this hard enviorment.

By Nancy Todd
We Scoopettes love living in Barcelona, and have Scoop on the coolest neighborhoods in our city. Read over this list to find out which area of Barcelona is the right one for your stay.
1. L'Eixample (meaning The Expansion) is Nancy's neighborhood. With thousands of Art Nouveau buildings with their twirly vines, stained glass roses, and rippling facades, Gaudí was a big influence here. La Pedrera, Casa Batlló, and the famous Sagrada Familia Church loom skyward in L'Eixample. Cerdà was the genius who designed this grid in the late 1800′s. The street corners were chamfered to allow the trams and cool Mediterranean breezes pass. It is a photographer's dream. Peek in through the huge doorways into lobby's with old gas lamps, colorful tile floors, and elaborate graffito work on the walls. Damn, I love my neighborhood.
Fav street: Enrique Granados.
Fav restaurant: La Bodequeta, Rambla de Catalunya, 100. Art Nouveau tile floors, neighbors gather, noisy, authentic Catalan tapas.
2. In Gracia there are few folks with floppy maps in hand. It's a neighborhood with bohemian roots which continue to this day; reefer is in the air, drums beat. Kids play soccer in the plazas, old folks shop for bread, and cafe life teems. Gaudí's first obscure house is here, Casa Vicens, and it is a dicombobulated creation worth the walk. Squeezed between the Green and Yellow Metro Lines, Gracia is easy to get to. The Gracia Festival in August is several days of partying, dancing, and displays. And did I mention reefer?
Fav street: Verdi Street for its original version cinema and fun bars.
Fav restaurant: A Casa Portuguesa, Carrer de Verde 58, Portugese wines and tapas. Contemporary digs, fun, thirty-something crowd.
3. To the left of Las Ramblas, as you head to the sea, is the Gothic Neighborhood. In its crackled web of lanes, many of which are so skinny that a fat American car would have it's mirrors torn off to a jagged nub, is one of the largest preserved medieval neighborhoods in the world and the Roman dudes also left their mark over 2,000 years ago, too. We love to go bar-hopping here with friends on the weekend. No plan except an initial meeting spot and we are out till at least three. The Barcelona Cathedral has Sardana dancing, which is Catalan folk dancing, on Sunday afternoon, about one. The Frederic Mares Museum and The Shoe Museum are quirky stops. Watch your wallet day and night. Plaza Neri is one of my top three plazas in the city. Oh, you are going to love getting lost here!
Fav street: Carrer Comtal, lots of excellent shopping!
Fav restaurant: Onofre, a wine and tapas bars just behind the Cathedral. All Spanish wines. (Carrer de les Magdalenes, 19 08002 Barcelona)
There are many more barris, or neighborhoods, in the city to choose from (Poblenou, El Raval, Poble Sec, La Barceloneta, etc), but the above are some of the Scoopettes' faves. Stay tuned for future reviews on areas of Barcelona we recommend staying in. Once you've chosen your quarter of the city, look for travel deals online for the best hotel rates. Hotel and hostel rates fluctuate in the metropolis depending on the season and what's on (for example, expect to pay a lot more if there's a big trade show in town or if it's Christmas, etc).
Have you stayed in an area of Barcelona that you really liked (or hated)? Tell us about it!
