FEB!!





well we have just now finished our first month here! tomorrow will be a month since my departure and my my how time has FLOWN!! its crazy!
Friday was a fun day! i went to Montjuic and walked around! the museum there is so beautiful, it looks like a palace! but i did not go in. there are a ton of strairs to get to the top and i was determined to climb them all! i had brought a lunch so i picked out a beautiful spot and ate. nearby all the kids were playing soccer so that was nice. unfortunately the day was overcast and cold. i just want it to be spring time already!!!

Saturday we woke up early and went to the Cebrians! They made us lunch which were these meatball things and utterly delicious! we all took naps, a little siesta if you will :) and then they helped us figure out how to buy things online with our new credit cards from La Caixa! we got it allllll done and we are taking a TRAIN to VALENCIA on friday!!! and then for Kristins birthday (Feb 26-Mar 2) we are flying to PARIS!!! so that will be a very fun trip! Also, next weekend we are going to a paid trip to Sevilla! so i'm excited its free!

Sunday i tried to go to church again but the gate was lock and i was accosted by homeless people, so i gotta figure out somewhere else to go! because i need to asap. then we went to the picasso museum for FREE and it was amazing! one of my favorite museums ever! it shows all of his artwork from when he was younger and sketched real people, to painting impressionistic like Van Gogh to the cubism stuff that we all think of when we think of Picasso! i loved it! then we ate at this resteraunt and i got a pizza and guess what was on it?! lamb, cucumbers, tomatos, feta cheese, onions, and garlic and OH MY WORD! it was so sosososososoo yummy! the most random foods always tend to be the most tasty :) then we went and watched my soccer team play and they came back from 2-0 to win 3-2 so that was exciting and we took some awesome pictures by this cool graffiti! we came home, got ready real quick, and then went to this bar for the Super Bowl! we only ended up stay till about half time which was around 230 am!!! it was fun though

Monday... school, boo! it has been raining SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much here!
Today!!! i had to do a presentation about the Islams in Spain and their culture and art and i think i did very good! so cross your fingers for a good grade! then obviously 4 hours of spanish! and our class jsut made a blog and it is on this SAME site which is funny and we are going to have to post our class assigments there from now on! so if you have any desire to ever see it! it is megustabcn@blogspot.com haha so yay! i just now made dinner which consisted of potato and onions sauteed in ollive oil with some aioli (garlic oil sauce) mmmm it was tasty but now i need a little chocolate to fill me up :) i will keep you updated with what is to come!

AHHH the graffiti picture was so freakin cool! I've always wanted to do a fashion photoshoot in front of a graffiti wall and that one is like perfect! Picasso sounds awesome! I went to the Andy Warhol museum when I was in Scotland and it was sooo cool! Had a lot of his original stuff and letters it was awesome. Glad to hear you are having fun!! Love you both!
