This weekend was a blast. Our program director, Begonia, threw a bachelorette party and invited all the girls in our group. It was sooo much fun! I mostly just spent time hanging out and dancing with the girls, and meeting up with some of my great Spanish guy friends. They're a blast, and they don't speak English so I get a lot of practice in. I don't have much time to write now, but enjoy the pictures and I'll add more detail at the end of this week after midterms (Yikes!). Happy Sunday! :) Amor y Besos, Laura Lee :)... read more

Saturday the 24th, we got ready to leave for Spain!!!!! Ya I couldn't wait to get there. This was the first flight that I actually was awake taking off and landing. I like to sleep on planes. We arrived in Reus airport quite late and we didn't think we were going to be able to take a bus to Salou so we were looking for a taxi. I happened to spot a bus that said Salou on the front and spoke to the guy and he said no problem where you going. We totally lucked out and the bus dropped us off right in front of our hotel. The hotel was nice and clean and the room had a double and a single bed so it worked out pretty good. We basically dropped our bags, ... read more

On March 22nd we flew from Dublin to the Girona airport in Spain. Luckily we were able to catch a bus into Barcelona quicker than expected and got to Scott and Barbs around 11:30pm. On Friday while they were at school we walked to the Sagrada Familia and the beach. Despite being under construction for the past 120 years and still a long ways from being finished, the Sagrada Familia is the largest and most popular attraction in Barcelona. That evening after Scott got back from coaching soccer we went to a chicken place for dinner. On Saturday the four of us did tons of sightseeing, Scott and Barb were GREAT tour guides! We had tapas (Spanish appetizers) for dinner at a great restaurant and then hung out at their flat. On Sunday we went ... read more

First of all, I’d like to apologize for not writing for so long…I’m sure you are wondering how the rest of my spring vacation was after the disaster that was Naples! Well, as I said before, once that plane landed in Barcelona I felt a sigh of relief. The weather was perfect, the airport was clean, we flew in right over the ocean…it was getting better already. I would have loved to stay in Barcelona because many people had told me that Barcelona was a great city to visit, but I instead decided to head south to Valencia with some friends from school. It was an easy ride from the airport to the train station and luckily I was on the same train as my friends. The ride from Barcelona to Valencia was beautiful because ... read more
