First Day in Barcelona!

---

Hola familia y amigos!!

I landed safely around 7:30 this morning with no trouble and barely any turbulence! A few of us shared a cab and got to see the sleeping city...except for the MARATHON starting shortly after we all got to our houses. My host mom, Nuria, is so sweet and loves to cook (not good news for my waistline!). We, my two roomates and I, each have our own room and share a bathroom! After dinner we were able to get a small tour of the most beautiful city I think I have ever seen! It got dark pretty fast so I couldn't take a ton of pictures but I'll put up the few I took!

Tomorrow we all start orientation and finally get to meet and greet all of the "Oswego" crew!

Besos,
Chaquita
(which Nuria calls me, by the way!)
