While walking the streets of the many cities we visited, I noticed lots of street art. Some people sang, played an instrument, did magic tricks, while others were dressed as some of our favorite American characters. They lined the busy city streets. Tourists took turns taking pictures with the performers. however, no picture was for free of course. You had to pay each performer at least one euro to take a picture. This was obviously a job for many of the locals.
Being on streets with the locals forced us to participate in the Spanish language. Although I don't speak much, most people were kind and willing to help. I did notice a slight shift in dialect from city to city. I noticed in Seville and Barcelona many people use the "th" sound a lot. Instead of saying Barcelona, they pronounced it "BarTHelona" or "graThias" instead of "gracias."
