Necessita Deodorant en Espana!

I know I am on the verge of being one of those people who says they will blog and stops, so this post is going to prevent me from going on that list. The past two weeks have been filled with classes and visiting sites and fun places in and around Barcelona. Two weeks ago I had a Picasso weekend. I went with two friends and ate at 4 Gats. This was a restaurant Picasso used to go to. The atmosphere was very cool and had Picasso paintings all over it, but the food was overrated. As a New Orleans girl, I know my seafood and 3 scallops does not equal 22 euros. Never the less, it was a fun experience. The next morning we woke up and went to the Picasso museum. We had a wonderful guide who even spoke English! That weekend it was cold and rainy and pretty miserable. We tried to drown our sorrows in what was supposed to be the "best mexican in Barcelona" but I am just going to have to disagree. On a different note, since my school sells chocolate croissants for 95 cents I have joined a gym. I thought I would not have to be with smelly Europeans since it is the winter, but let me tell you... this gym stinks. I can barely go into the weight room because the men clearly do not wear deodorant. Just another reason I need to avoid the gym. Besides the smell it does the job. This weekend we went to Girona with my abroad group. It was about an hour ride and we saw an old Jewish quarter and a church etc. It was really cold so we mostly hid inside.  I did however try a dessert called a shoo shoo. ( It sounded like how my grandma used to pronounce sushi). I had to eat the donut like pastry because I didn't want to be disrespectful. Then we headed to the Dali museum which was awesome. All of his work was very bizarre and the museum doesn't allow guides or descriptions really.  We have also ventured to a bunch of different bars and discotecas in Barcelona. I really enjoyed a bar called Le Cerano where you pour your own drinks and they give popcorn. We even talked to locals in spanish while we were there so it was an educational bar too. This weekend I take my first big trip to London!  Will tell you all about it next week. Besos XOXO Mica
