Barcelona

---

All i really need to say is I LOVE BARCELONA!!! Other than the fact that everybody speaks English, the environment was wonderful. It was great weather, and we even went to the beach for a day. We met up with some of Yelena's friends that are studying in London, and another girl from Madrid and with all these girls, Howard usually went off on his own.
Gaudi's architecture was everywhere, and I loved it. I did a project on him in high school art and even reproduced one of the mosaics in the park. There's a picture. And you check out the rest of the pictures to see what else I was up to.

I don't know if you knew that Spain has 4 official languages and the region that Barcelona is in does not speak 'Spanish'. Here is a sign from the airport in Catalonian, English, and Spanish.

Nice work, brat
Good job on actually seeing that mosiac you made. Now it's a good story, too.
