hola barcelona!

sooo, where do i begin??? we arrived friday morning and it was actually so nice to be in a country i actually could speak and understand wayyy better then i ever could in italy. not that i am good at spanish, or even fluent but somehow those 4 yrs of spanish helped me cuz i understood a lot and i was able to even speak a lot, it was great!

so on friday we went to la rambla which is a huge main street filled with shopping and restaurants. it actually started raining so it worked out nicely we just went from store to store! its fun cuz ppl perform and do circus stuff or breakdancing on the street!
i got a shirt and 3 dresses and sunglasses- tho very necessary because the moment i took them out of my bag at the hostel when we first got there they broke.

fri night we tried some restaurant that was soso, so we went to hardrock for nachos and milkshakes, much better choice! they were deliciousssss.

on sat we did all our sightseeing and saw everything there was by gaudi and the sagrada familia and park guell. americas next top model had a photo shoot at park guell, so we went a little crazy and were angry brides as well :-)
the park was beautiful and had amazing views of barcelona, we then went to the castle which is montjuic aka jewish mountain and had amazing views as well. it was lots of fun and we had great weather for it!!! we also got very very very lost tryin to find a lot of the things because the map we had was wrong, ligit was wrong so we kept getting confused. but we got our dunkin donuts which was awesome! btw

sat night we went to chupitos which was the bar roxy said i must go to. it has like 300 shots written on the wall u just pick one and hope its good. some involve fire and they are are all fun to take, i took the boy scout which included roasting a marshmellow on fire, the finding nemo where u had to find the m and m in the whipped cream and take the shot all with hands behind ur back and the rock pops one where u take rock pops with it. we went to a club after and it was a fun night!

on sunday we went to the beach for a few hours. it was sooo perfect, warm and sunny and we got the best tuna sandwhiches of my life. literally. we got drinks- sex on the beach, drank them on the beach and enjoyed it until it started to drizzle. we went to la rambla quickly then back to the hostel to get ready for dinner.

oh and on sat night we had the BEST dinner ever!!!
so sun we got an ok dinner, then went out again! we wound up just hanging round the beach and walking around a bit then found the forest club which looks like a forest inside.

mon our flight was delayed, suppppppper. so we were 2 hours behind. we had to leave at 430 so we were up for our 7 am flight and didnt get on the flight till 930. evern more super. i came home and went to school for a group meeting for 4 hrs. even more super. its a busy week, but paris soon!! yayyyy

loooooved barcelona and would totally go back, its def more modern and has so many american things and amazing convienent things rome dsnt have, tho it def dsnt have the history rome does and as many things to do as far as seeing sites as rome does. rome still wins!
