Barcelonaaaa!!

So Friday morning bright and early, we jetted off to Barcelona for a nice long weekend. We get to Barcelona and check into our hostel. It was my very first hostel stay (all of ours in fact).. but it was a blast!! Definitely had a dorm atmosphere, and we rented a room with a private bathroom so we had absolutely no problems.

Friday, we went sightseeing.. We went to Parque Guell and La Sagrada Familia, two of Gaudí's works. La Sagrada Familia is still unfinished because Gaudí died while it was being constructed, and Barcelona has never hard the funds to fully finish it- plus there is the constant argument over how to finish it and what architect to use. We had an absolutely delicious dinner, but the sangria was disappointing. We hit up a discoteca later called Razzmatazz, but despite the name, did not enjoy it at all, and went for a night walk along the beach- very cool.

Saturday... we SLEPT IN (what a concept) and went to the beach!!! Great day. We had a very nice dinner and watched Spain win yet another World Cup game :)

Sunday we got up early, hit the beach for a few hours, and headed on our flight home. In the airport, we got in a heated debate over this issue: Do you tie your shoes with bunny ears or the other way? Apparently, bunny ears are NOT normal. Whatever. I proudly use the bunny ears.

One week left.... Don't want to think about it :( At least I am very tan now!
