On Friday night after Italidea we got
on a plane from Rome and headed to Barcelona for the weekend. We got in at
about 11pm and headed to our apartment that was in a pretty populated area
right in the city. We got settled a little bit then went to get something to
eat; it was pretty cool because all the restaurants stay open really late.
The next morning we got up and made a
nice American breakfast just like in Florence. The first thing we all wanted to
see was the Sagrada Familia, which was like the coolest thing. It was the
chilliest church I had ever seen, it definitely trumps St. Peter’s Basilica and
its not even finished yet. We took an audio tour and it was cool to know the history
and symbolism behind it. That night we wanted to see what nightlife in
Barcelona was all about. My sisters said that Barcelona wasn’t too high on
their list of all the places they went, but I thought it was a lot of fun. They
don’t eat dinner in Barcelona till like 12 so we went to dinner around then
near the beach. There was an insane amount of bars/clubs in the marina. You
literally walk down strips where there is just club after club after club and
promoters outside trying to get you in anyway that they can. We really wanted
to go to the ice bar we heard so much about so we did that and it was sick.
It’s just a small room with everything covered in ice. They give you a big
puffy jacket and gloves to go in. The cups are made out of ice, which I thought
was like the coolest part.
On Sunday we went to this big garden
over looking the entire city. I forget what the name of it was, but its some
famous garden/ hiking area in Barcelona. It was a lot of walking, but cool to
see the whole city from its highest point. We pretty much just rested up after
that because our flight was at 6am Monday morning, which was the worst thing
ever. We just didn’t go to bed that night because our shuttle picked us up at
3am. Probably not the best idea seeing as though we got to wait in the airport
for 3 hours totally exhausted, but at least we know for next time.
Well its just another week of class
now, but last week of Italidea which is pretty much the greatest thing ever
because I’m over that class everyday for 3 hours. This weekend is Tuscany and
the Patriots in the Super Bowl so we’ll talk about that next week.
