Ole!

Hello everyone and apologies for the lack of posting lately. At least this time it’s for a good reason. My program has actually been pretty busy lately so I’ve had to do schoolwork. Crazy. Anyway, I’ve been on a couple of cool trips lately so I thought I’d post a few pictures from them. This first batch are from my trip to Spain with Erik and some of his friends from his course. I loved Spain and it was a welcome relief from the cold and rainy English winter. (And the guys were fairly good looking in general. And there weren't
lots of other blonds so...good times for me.)

This building housed the Picasso museum but is actually an old mansion from the early 1400s. The old town was amazing with old houses like this everywhere. They all have a little courtyard in the middle that stays cool all day. The museum was pretty cool, too.

This is at the famous Sagrada Familia designed by Gaudi. The Spanish lady who took our picture clearly didn't understand that it's not so much about having our entire bodies in the picture as it is about the cathedral that we had traveled so far to see.

The beautiful Spanish beach. The water was gorgeous, but a little too cold to get in. It was nice to be at a beach, nonetheless. We also got to see a naked man.


These are some of the stalls at the market just off La Ramblas. Everything looked pretty arranged like this, even huge hanging hams.
