Hey everyone!
So today we had a practical walking tour of Barcelona, so they taught us how to use the metro and some key advice on the city etc. We also walked a little bit down Las Ramblas which is a VERY famous street in Barcelona where they sell all kinds of things from flowers, to art to pets. This is also the place where the majority of pick-pocketers "work", so we were all very careful about our bags, and slightly paranoid, but no one got pickpocketed which was good!
Then we stopped at a place on Las Ramblas for lunch, i had some pasta, and then after lunch we had a 2+hour bus tour of the city. So we got to see all the famous monuments and places in Barcelona. It was a great overview of the city so we know where to go and what interests us, so we can visit places this weekend and throughout our exchange.
Later we had a meeting for housing as we move into our places tomorrow. Im living with a host family and other students are either in a dorm or apartment. After our meeting we went out for dinner to a Tapas restaurant, and ofcourse had tapas and sangría ! we felt very Spanish lol. The sangría was delicious!! A pitcher of sangría was less than 10euros, which is a really good price. Beer and wine are cheaper here in Spain then water (how convenient).
After our dinner we had a craving for gelato, but since we dont eat dinner in Spain until 10pm, and we didnt finish until 12midnight, the gelato place was closed! :( So instead we went to a bar lol. We found this irish bar that was really close to our hotel and was a lot of fun, they played great music and had good prices for beer. We met a lot of other exchange students there as well.
Good times so far! it's 215ish am ,annnnd i need to go to bed.
Buenas Noches!
