Entry 7 of 7 | show all | print this entry

Hola! sorry its taken me so long to update. life in barcelona has been awesome. barcelona is one of the greatest cities in the world. it is on the beach. we have been spending a lot of our time there. im burned actually. but the weather is gorgeous, its about 80s w a strong wind so you never get too hot. the water is refreshing without being cold. people walk up and down the beach yelling ´cervasa, cola´then whisper ´hash, hash´it is very amusing. but its beautiful to go down to the beach at night and drink some beers and hang out. our first night here we met up w 2 of the people i had met on the train to valencia and drank on the beach. it was a great casual start to the week. the 2 nights after taht we stayed w the american i met on the train who is studying abroad in barcelona. it was great bc he knew about a lot of local events that were a lot of fun. such as a reggae party on the beach. AWESOME


barcelona is also the home of gaudi. since this is my second time here and i went into detail about a lot of his monuments in my other blog, i wont do much. the best one that we went to was sagrada familia. its a cathedral that gaudi had worked on his whole life and died before it was finished. it is estimated that it wont be finished until the 21st century.

the fourth was very interesting. the kid we stayed w also had one of his friends up and him and i went to the beach. we decided that we would wear america colors so he wore his america boxers and i wore an american flag first as a shirt and then as a cape. not sure people liked us very much hahahha. then we went to a lil bbq on top of the hotel. it was a great fourth.


today i also visited the picasso museum. one of the best museums ive ever been to. it is housed in 2 old castles and chronicles his work. i really enjoyed it and brought home a very interesting book! tomorrow is our last night in barcelona. we are contemplating going to a bullfight or a spanish cooking class. then monday night we leave for pamplona to go running with the bulls! i will update everyone to let yall know im still alive! dont expect an update until tuesday tho. i dont want anyone to be gettign nervous. love and miss you all!!!!
