Family Room
This is my family room in the main floor. The upper part is my mom's floor with her study. Hello from across the pond (as Jeffrey would say)! Nothing super exciting has been happening in the past few days, just class and hanging around town.
For those of you who don't have facebook (aunts and uncles), I just realized you guys haven't seen pictures of my house. I have a very large house. You walk in through the basement. Up one flight of stairs is the main floor with the kitchen and bedrooms, and up one more floor is my mom's floor with her study and bedroom. I'm so lucky that I have such a beautiful house! I have no pictures of my family yet. I'll post that when I can.
As for this weekend, tonight at 11, 7 of the girls from my program and I are leaving on an 8 hour bus ride to Barcelona! Eight hours is an awfully long time, but round trip to Barcelona and back cost only 50 Euros compared to a train which costs around 200 Euros round trip. Hopefully since we're traveling at night, we'll all fall asleep. We arrive in Barcelona around 7am. We plan to drop our bags off at our hotel and then see some sights. Out
Stairs to Mom's floor
The other side of the family room. The stairs lead to my mom's floor. hotel is a Best Western, so I hope it's good. To confirm our room, I had to send my credit card number via email. Does that seem weird to anyone else? We're assuming they had a hard time understanding us on the phone, but who really knows. I hope it all goes well. Our hotel is quite pricey, about 150 Euros a night split between 3 girls a room. We're staying for 2 nights. We want this trip to Barcelona to be a
vacation, not a sight seeing extravaganza. We plan on sight seeing and going to museums in the mornings then going to the hotel for a break. After that, we plan on baking at the back in the evenings. I can't wait! All we've heard about Barcelona is "Watch your stuff!" so we're trying to really minimize our time spent shopping and stuff. We all have money belts and will only be carrying our cameras with us in the mornings. Hopefully this is a good enough plan and nothing gets stolen! I would be a very unhappy Sara is something bad happened.
Well I hope Barcelona is all the good I've heard about, and none of the
Study
My mom's study on her floor. bad. I'll let you guys know Monday or Tuesday how it went!
Happy 4th of July!!!!!!
