No Tengo el Internet

Sorry it has taken so long to update, I have not been able to get internet in my apartment so I am using the computer at school to say hello! After class on Thursday I met my aunt, uncle and cousins at their hotel which happened to be really close to where I live. We took a tour bus of the city so they could see most of Barcelona and then decide where to spend the next couple of days. Afterwards, we had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Plaza Real!

Friday morning we woke up early (at least it was for me) and had breakfast at a really great bakery and then headed to La Sagrada Familia. I had already visited with my class earlier in the week, but I definitely did not mind going back, as it is such and amazing place to see. Before lunch we took a walk through Parc Guell where there are tons of musicians and vendors and people having picnics. There is so much incredible art to see and amazing mosaics everywhere you look. I hope to spend a lot more time there in the next few weeks.

That afternoon we took a tour of the Picasso museum, where I spent more time looking at prints in the gift shop than actually in the museum. I´m glad I saw it, but it was nothing compared to the Prado and the other works I have seen. That night we went for one of the best dinners of my life! We spent 4 hours in this random seafood restaurant where we made friends with the owner and chef who also happens to be a collector of fine pieces of art. After a great meal (where I even ate baby octopus!) we ended up buying several watercolors of places around Barcelona.

Saturday was shopping day and was definitely a success! After another great dinner at one of my favorite places, we went to the fountains to watch the light show! Again, one of the best experiences I have had in Barcelona! It was so good to have my family here, but I´ll admit it has made it harder to stay here for 3 more weeks. I will stay busy with afternoons at the beach, class field trips and weekend excursions and I know I will love the rest of my time here. I am actually headed to the beach right now so hasta luego amigos!

Smooch, I miss you lots! I really liked Barcelona, but have told people that the best part about it BY FAR is that you were there. Hang in there and soak it all up .. it will be good to be back but you will only live in Barcelona once! (Unless you marry a hot Spanish guy that wears skinny jeans with his collar up!) I love you and miss you! Love, DeDe
