Today, we ran out of swipes for our public transport card, so we couldn't explore the city further. However, we felt like we covered a TON of the city anyway, so we were very happy to take today as a rest day.
We did walk around our hotel to see what was nearby though. And apparently, this whole time we had a hotel that was RIGHT NEXT TO FC BARCELONA'S FOOTBALL STADIUM.
 |
| Hmm... their stadium looks a little bit... messi. Heh. |
So of course, we went in. Or at least, we went into the only thing accessible on non-sports days, which was the gift shop. And, as expected from one of the most valuable, popular sports teams in the world, the interior of the FC Barcelona Megastore was incredible.
 |
| If you stand in the correct place, those things hanging from the ceiling look like Messi's kicking foot. This is true. |
Remember my trip to FC Bayern's stadium and how I said the level of fandom there was ridiculous? Turns out, fandom bordering on creepy obsession is common in European sports teams. Especially when they sell this:
Grass. FUCKING GRASS. Seriously, I mean what would you even do with it? Plant it in your backyard? Shit, maybe if you cultivate it enough, you'll grow your own Suarez, right?
And if it's not crazy enough, they also have miniature versions in magnets that you can stick right on your fridge.
 |
| Then again, if you think this is a good purchase, your fridge is probably already shaped like Messi's face. |
Ridiculous.
RFotD: I'm not actually angry, I think this stuff is hilarious, truthfully.
