Hola Familia y Amigos,
I have made it to Barcelona aka the NYC of Spain. We first went to Madrid and Toledo, where I soon realized that my spanish is very bad, and I stink at using Euros. I asked a man where the metro was and he didn't understand because I can't roll my Rs. Both will improve I assume. We went to see some of Picassos' paintings in the Sophia Reina museum and other pieces in the Prado museum. I am feeling more cultured already. I have eaten mostly sandwiches with cheese and some really bad paella. Man do I miss Ms. Ada because I could really go for some chips and dip right about now. My apartamento is nice, but my room is tiny. Maryann and I could fall asleep holding hands if we wanted to. Another fun fact about my apartment is that we do not have hot water right now or heat. This morning I had Maryann help me wash my hair in the sink in ice cold water. We are learning how to rough it. Today we basically walked and took the metro trying to learn the area. The reality is we got lost everywhere and just made big circles, but hey I clearly made it home. I am about to meet up with people from my group for my first Barca futbowl game! That's all for now. BESOS!
