What did they say?

Barcelona
June 18th, 2007

In Barcelona there was to much to do and not enough time. That is why I was rather disappointed of the little I saw of the city. We stop to eat as this little authentic Italian restaurant, while eating there a couple sitting next to us was holding hands and smiling a lot. It was obvious that they were in love. They spoke softly, but I was able to make out that they were speaking English. The man softly held her hand and had a charming smile on his face. The women flirted with her eyes and giggled as she hanged on his every word. I overheard them speaking about the time they were returning to their cruise ship that afternoon and spoke of the great time they were having in Spain, I did hear him say that Barcelona was not quite what he had expected and would have much rather gone to visit another city. The couple also spoke about their time in Italy. Apparently, they had also visited Tuscany and other parts of the country. Although their conversation was short and hard to hear over the loud music, it was interesting to see how people interact, and how I could read their body language. It was easy to see how clearly in love they were.

This assignment was challenging. It was hard to focus on what we were talking about, especially when one is eating delicious Italian food yet it was a good exercise for anyone. To train your mind to multitask is the key to any good reporter.
