Day 2 >

BARCELONA, Spain – The Ragin' Cajuns are in Spain! After a two hour bus ride, followed by a 1.5 hour plane ride, a three hour layover and the final plane trip, an 8.5 hour excursion, landing in Barcelona just after breakfast.

Thanks to Captain Flash Gordon, our pilot in the flight to Barcelona, for getting us there safely. It was announced in our preflight rundown that we were being flown by the Flash himself and his crew.

Assistant coach Kevin Johnson was making his second trans-Atlantic flight of the week, after a trip to England for a reunion with his former professional team.

All things said and done, we landed in Barcelona at 9:30 a.m. local time (2:30 CST). Jet lagged and half asleep, I'll leave you here. There is no rest in a ten-day tour, so we are off to a busy day. Expect more of an update tonight, or this afternoon for y'all, after our first, almost full day in Spain.
