So my apartment doesn't really have a window, so my roommates and I slept until 4:30 pm Sunday afternoon. Yea. Linda and I were productive and took a walk, but suprise suprise we got lost again. I'm not bad at directions but the streets are like diagonal from each other instead of making a grid so it's quite easy getting turned around.
Monday and Tuesday Spanish classes started at 9 am, which aren't awful b/c we're done at 10:30. But, IES gave us this scavenger hunt to do with our class that was actually helpful b/c we walked a ton and saw some pretty great things like the Picasso Museum, a Chocolate Museum, and other cool things and me and my group stumbled upon the cutest nook outdoor tapas restaurant in a church courtyard lit by candle light off of a small alley in Las Ramblas and drank Sangria that our waitress made in front of us and had tapas. It was delicious.
Tuesday, we actually walked down to the port where the beach starts and it was really pretty.
Tonight is a FC Barcelona game, but my roommate Linda and I didn't get tickets but I think we're going to one on Saturday, and also try and see La Sagrada Familia, the unfinished church of Gaudi. On my walk home from classes, there are the Gaudi Apartments which are spectacular and just out of the blue.
Until next time, Muchos Besos!
