Our last few days in Barcelona were spent mostly hanging around and studying for our 2 finals. Not exactly how you want to spend your last weekend in Barcelona but it must be done. I managed to make it to an art museum with Tony one morning. It was a huge place and it had a good view of the city. Tuesday after our last final we just tried to soak up as much of the time we had left. Hung out with our girls. I am going to miss them so much. At least we will have Veronica in Houston with us!! For our last dinner in Spain we had paella. Jennifer and I peeled our own prawns. I'm so proud of us. That's twice now. We spent the last night running around Barcelona trying ... read more

So After catching a taxi from the train station to the Barcelona Airport I sat drinking Cafe con Leche itching with anticipation for the arrival of the two most important people in my life...Betty and Ira, for those of you who don't know me...my Parents. So after endless hugs and kisses, remember I've been away for over seven months, Mom needed a few minutes to catch up on hugs, we picked up our rental car and hit the road. Destination being Platja D'Aiguablava and the Paradore that sits on top of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Now I've been living in tents, hostels, cheap hotels, vans and huts for the last seven months and I was all ready to soak in the lap of luxury. We arrived at our four star hotel, rooms with terraces ... read more

Avg. Temp: 38 Today is my last day in Barcelona. I am pretty relax. I did all the sightseeing already and I have a day to spend and relax. I hung out with 2 girls from holland and 2 americans. We went to the barcelona opera house and then hung out in the park for the afternoon. The day was whether easy, except I have a confrontation with the reception guy in my hostel. I don't know how to describe him. He obviously doesn't enjoy his job. He doesn't give you a smile or it seems like everyone owes him something. I went to the room after I checked out and I came down. We had a confrontation of what I am doing upstair. Eventhough, there are tons of other people in the reception area. Crazy. ... read more
