BARCELONA

Hola!

I am in Barcelona at the Le Meridien hotel on La Rambla road. It is amazing, and probably one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. I will update pictures tomorrow, but it has been a long day, with 15 hours of train travel, and walking around Barcelona all day today. We started off by getting some tapas at a nice local place, I had chorizo saugages, it wasn´t filling, but it was really good, and then we just walked around, looked at shops, found an amazing\disgusting market, with all kinds of fruit and candy, but also with fresh meat showing full heads of chickens and goats and stuff, it was really disturbing. Then we went to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe Barcelona, I had a Spicy Mustard Chicken sandwich with fries, and it was delicious. In the place was Joe Walsh´s guitar and Tom Petty´s and a original beatles score, and all kinds of other cool things.

I am with Dana, Rachel and Megan Condon, and it is a really good group. We were planning on staying in a hostel, but Megan Condon´s mom is amazing and didn´t want us to stay in a place with no lock out´s, so here we are, in this great hotel, which Bruce Springsteen and Madonna have stayed at... :)

well, I will post pictures tomorrow when I have more energy, because after our dinner, we went to a cool place called the Black Sheep which was a lot of fun, then we went back to the hotel and ran a mile in all our clothes on in the workout room, it was really random and funny hah. the next couple of days should be great.

Fiap Concert!

Tonight was pretty great, we had a meeting with another american group, and Dana, Scott, Megan Gilbert, Megan Clarke and Karen (a girl who works from the fiap) put on a concert for the group. There was a good amount of people there and all the songs turned out really nice. It was definitely the biggest crowd I have sang for hah. It was a really nice meal, way better than the cafeteria with salmon and ham and cheese quiche and good salad and dessert, and the whole dinner was based around music and games.

Other than that, I have been studying for our second art history test, but I feel pretty good about it so far.

The set list for the concert was...













I really only sang in wagon wheel, but Scott and I switched off verses, so it was really fun, and Dana and Karen and Megan did the rest, it sounded so great. I completely forgot to ask for someone to videotape it, but I think people got some footage of it!!! I will put it up if anyone did. :)

I am going to Barcelona this weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Relaxing Weekend

This past weekend was very quiet and relaxing, except for last night for Halloween. I have went and hung out Luxembourg Gardens where I took pictures of my pastry, which is an assignment for photo class, I think they turned out pretty nice too! I have played a lot of guitar, watched Heroes, stayed up late, and last night I dressed up as a girl for Halloween haha. I still have black nail polish on... and eyeliner stuff, it was really funny, and we had a really good night. I think next weekend I am going to go to Amsterdam, possibly on my own, so that could be fun, and tomorrow I am planning on going to the Miles Davis exhibition, so it should be a good week. :)
