Monday, June 2, 2014- Dessert in Barcelona, Spain at Happy Pills
Jamie says: Barely breaking into our walk down Las Ramblas, K and I made a quick left for a shop called Happy Pills.
Welcome to Happy Pills
It was made to look like a pharmacy with sugary candy. Quite hilarious.
A candy pharmacy
I surprised myself and purchased some sugary (non-chocolate) treats. It soon hit me why this once in a decade craving struck. It originated when we first got to Barcelona- our taxi cab driver from the train station was popping gummies the whole cab ride on the way to our hotel. Jeez, the power of subliminal messaging.
Picking up my “prescription” aka candy
So I followed K’s lead and went for it. I picked the size of my pill bottle and went around the store picking one of this and one of that. At the end, they seal it with a safety lid (haha) and you get to pick out your prescription sticker.
J & K mini-adventure
Fun, fun- J/K style!
Sisters!
We continued our walk down Las Ramblas.

K and I “stopped to smell the roses.”

Soon nature called. I was ever so thankful for the chain restaurants for the relative ease of using their restrooms. While I was on a hunt, I went into a McDonalds and saw a picture of pancakes with chocolate drizzle and whipped cream. I surprised myself again in craving the pancakes. I totally wanted them but was on a mission. (Their restroom was out of order. I guess I jinxed myself.) KFC was the answer.
We continued our walk. I popped a handful of the sugary sweets. They were awesome.
My candy choice. Ready to give ’em a try.
When we reached the Christopher Columbus statue, we took a family Gator picture to submit to the University of Florida alumni magazine. We laughed about how we would display and position the Gator shirt.
Go Gators! Gator Nation in Barcelona!
