So I'm in Barcelona now! It's pretty cool here. I've been here for three days, staying in a youth hostel. My parents show up later today actually, so I have to go pick them up from the airport, but that will be cool!
I spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday walking around, getting to know the city, because my mom has no sense of direction and it's pretty easy to get lost in Barcelona. Our apartment is right near the beach, so that will be great.
I shared my room in the hostel with a couple other girls. The first night there were four Italian girls, two girls from Mexico, and a girl from Canada. The Italian girls left on Saturday morning, and four new girls from California showed up. Turns out they are studying abroad in Italy, but are on Spring Break also. And! Weirdest coincidence ever... they know one of my best friends from grade school because they all go to UC Riverside together! Such a small world!
I'm pretty excited about this week in Barcelona with my parents, it should be really fun!
Aha! "No sense of direction." It's nice to be able to blame this on genetics!
ReplyDeleteHehe, yeah... luckily my Dad has a great sense of direction, and in that respect I'm much more like him!
