Estoy en Barcelona!

So I'm alive and made it! So far I haven't seen too much of the city. I got lucky for once (which really, never happens) and was the only one not to have her luggage lost so all my compadres are at the airport getting all their ducks in a row and I am working at setting up my room!

As far as the trip over here goes, I can't complain. We had one great flight where we got upgraded to Business Class and just reclined and slept for 7 hours and one awful one from London to here. We also met another student living at RESA at the airport and hopefully will meet even more as we go.

I always drinks ginger ale on planes...always.


We saw the sunset...


And the sunrise...


And mountains!



When we got to Barcelona, we got a neat taste of the city on the cab ride and then grabbed a couple metros to Carrefour (akin to Super Walmart) to buy stuff for our rooms and grab a bite to eat.
