Barcelona!

This is going to have to be quick, but I will write more when I get back to Florence and I can put up some pictures!

Spring break is finally here. We got to Barcelona yesterday. It´s an awesome city so far. Our hostel is a bit outside the center, but it´s pretty awesome. There´s hammocks, a kitchen, good people, a den...
We can take the metro right into the center, which is called Las Ramblas (or La Rambla). La Rambla is this main street that has tons of vendors, stores, restaurants, tapas bars, and street performers. If you walk all the way down, you hit the water. There´s also palm trees everywhere. I´m in love with them!

Here´s a few highlights of our first day.
We...
-saw a parade with huge men in costumes on stilts
-ate crepes with fruit and nutella
-took a tiny air tram over the entire city
-ran through the streets barefoot in a sunshower
-let ourselves dry in the sun outside of the biggest mall ever!
-desperately tried to find a restaurant and spoke broken Castillian Spanish only to get frozen pizzas, and ham and eggs


Hamburguesas here are just a piece of ham. Total let down.

me gusta barcelona!

CIAO!
