Day 2
3/16/09
My sis and I decided to wake up early before the kids did and go grocery shopping. The streets looked so much alive this time. Everyone out walking, and a lot of the businesses and shops were open. This day looked like it would be so much better. Finally losing somewhat the fear of using my Spanish, I started asking where we could buy groceries. We found a small grocery shop with milk, eggs, bread, juice, cereal, etc.! We were in heaven! I felt so relieved after loading up on all those groceries. Now the problem was to carry all of our groceries 10 blocks down to the apartment! We managed it. Well, we started off good, but we got too excited. With our bellies full, we got ready to head out. My sister and Kristian were to eager to go, and would not wait on us. They said they would wait for us at the metro station (the problem was that there were several metro stations) Well, needless to say that we spent an hour trying to look for them and it would have been worse if my sis wouldn't of had her "world phone" with her. I called her from an Internet Cafe. Ok. Now we are ready!
Day 2 evening
I had totally forgoton about this incident and I honestly thought that my "negative energy" had followed me all the way from Corsicana to Barcelona!
We were getting ready to go out and I heard the door buzz from downstairs, and we were all in the apartment, so I had no idea who this person could be or why they would be buzzing our door! I didn't think much of it and I answered "hello". No response. My sister said that it might just be some kids fooling around. About 10 minutes later someone knocks at the freakin apartment door! I never buzzed them in, so I had no idea what to do, and of course I was not going to open the door. I got really freaked out! Luis heard and came over to the door and peaked through the hole and did not see anyone. Neither did I. We both stood there and looked at each other for several minutes not knowing what to do. If we were going to have to put up a fight, I was going to need a weapon. So, I got a big wooden spoon! Ha ha! Janel said I was overreacting. They never came back. Luis said it might not be such a good idea to go out anymore. But, I was not going to let this ruin my vacation, plus I had my wooden spoon!
We never heard from them again that night..."They" buzzed once more the next morning before anyone woke up. That was the last we heard of the mysterious buzz.
