Barcelona

We went to Barcelona this weekend and it was very beautiful even though it was raining the first day and overcast the second. It's right on the sea so that just makes everything beautiful. The first day we just kind of walked around the city for ever taking in the city sites in general. We just stumbled on some of the big cathedrals and the one big cathedral under construction. The city is pretty typical European, old with some new stuff in between. It's really pretty and lots of tree lined streets and all that good stuff. I have lots of pictures and I will post them whenever I get a chance and/or internet. The second day we went to the Parc Guell, which is the park designed by Gaudi. It was really amazing. Apparently I really like glass mosaics. The park is in a lot of the pictures that they show people of Barcelona. I got to ride the metro there as well and I was pretty good at figuring it out, what with my experience in Paris and all. I am now an expert. And I have been to a McDonalds in France and Spain. Nice, I know. It was weird to hear Spanish. I kept trying to talk to all the shop people in French because to me that's the public language. But guess what? In Spain...they speak Spanish. Well in Barcelona they actually speak quite a bit of Catalan what with it being in Catalonia and all. But they speak English too because it's a major city. I was back to pointing at the menu and doing a lot of nodding. But it really wasn't too hard to get around. Then we headed back to Montpellier, and it was good to be home again. Yes, it's weird but France is now home. It was nice to hear French again because it feels much more familiar to me. Now its back to classes and Jake comese tomorrow!! Yay!! I can't wait. I hope it goes well and he's not bored the whole time. Alright, later!
