Where to start…

I tried so hard to update frequently, but sometimes it’s just not possible. And even though I’ve been really busy doing fun things and taking lots of pictures, I don’t have time to recount it all. So here’s a (hopefully) brief rundown.

In the last 3 days I have:

• Been to Parc Güell (Gaudí’s famous park), which was a lot prettier than I had expected.
• Walked around the city one heck of a lot.
• Hung out with friends a lot, with and without alcoholic presence.
• Seen the newest Pedro Almodóvar film–La Piel que Habito (mind-blowingly strange, in classic Almodóvar fashion).
• Bought a semi-expensive but really fun dress from a famous Spanish clothing store (Desigual).
• Been on a tour of Codorniu–one of the famous Spanish Cava factories.
• Tasted delicious Cava (the Spanish version of Champagne) at said factory.
• Walked around Sitges for a good hour and a half on an unproductive search for churros that ended in crepes instead (still delicious).
• Been to the beach at Sitges–SO BEAUTIFUL.
• Been to two museums: The Museum of Music (which was cool but less than impressive) and the National Museum of Catalan Art (which was definitely awesome).
• Had a semi-insane “Ukrainian” waitress.
• Skype-dated with my good friend Sarah.

So that’s why I haven’t posted in 3 days. Also, I have a lot of schoolwork coming up, since this coming week is the last week of our “curso intensivo” and so I have a paper, a presentation, and a final exam. So that’s why I can’t spend a lot of time elaborating what went down.

But, don’t worry (in case you were). I’m definitely alive and enjoying myself here in Barcelona.
