Basically, Barcelona is amazing. End of post. Seriously though, the city is beautiful, cheap, and full of nice people. On our second night here, we met a group of American kids studying in Rome and we all just instantly connected. We spent basically the entire weekend with them, going out at night and laying on the beach during the day. It´s so amazing what a connection we had with them. They´re from all over the US like, Tennessee, Kansas, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Washington D.C., New York, Washington, and more. We shared our travel stories and tips with them, and they shared theirs with us. The weekend was so good actually that we are altering our travel plans and stopping in Rome on our way to Greece to visit. We´re going to meet them throughout our trip too because as it turns out some of our destinations and dates match up. So cool!!
I still can´t post pictures with this internet, but today we did some ultra sightseeing of some amazing places. The olympic area was really beautiful and it was clear the the whole city was really revamped for the ´92 summer games. They have amazing architecture here and despite how different it all it, it really comes together and makes for an interesting city. If you have a sec and are interested, do a google image search for ´Sagrada Familia´and see just how beautiful this unfinished church is. It was started in the 1850´s by the city´s main architect and was never finished; it´s now being finished slowly but surely by private anonymous donations. Barcelona is an amzing place and I recommend it to everyone heading this way.
