Dia 4 y un paseo por la Noche de Barcelona
Rode on the metro by myself today and I can say it was easier than I thought. After class I went grocery shopping with my roommate Michelle, we went to a little grocery store around the corner of our apartment. We nicknamed it the WalMart because it is blue and white. One thing I forgot to mention was that I have a bar called Dry Martini right under my apartment and an ice cream store right next door. It is a really high class looking bar, just thought I would let you know. We went out tonight to a local bar called Dow Jones where the drink prices are determined by the number of people in the bar, pretty much more people higher prices, less people lower prices. Every so often the price goes up or down. The bartender hooked it up with free shots for me and my roommare Casey because she asked me if I was Mexican and I said yes and she all right free shot. Then we went to the beach area where some clubs where at, the nightlife in Barcelona is very exciting and crazy at the same time. oh and lost my phone in the taxi, probably well never see that phone again :( :(
Day2- Day3
I arrived at my apartment to meet my roommates for the summer. My roommates are Cori and Michelle from California and Elize and Casey from Virginia. The apartment is nice and we have security, almost looks like a hotel but its an apartment. We have air conditioning in our apartment although its not much its something. My roommates and I headed to campus the first day of classes. We rode the metro station there and we managed to get through it pretty fine for our first time. Its when we got off the metro that we got lost for like an hour. We did our orientation of the program and also were told what the time here would look like. After orientation it was off to class. I attended both of my classes and they are pretty small in size. I have Spanish and International Marketing which are pretty interesting. We went on a tour of the city and saw some amazing stuff. We ended our tour at the top of one of Barcelona's wealthiest hotels. With the terrace view and a pool in the middle on top of the roof, it was amazing I could say. We all got to meet the other students in the program as well as have some tapas the Spanish version of appetizers. After the hotel gathering we headed back home to get some rest for our second day of school.
Por Fin a Barcelona
I left Sunday morning from Omaha, Nebraska on my way to beautiful Barcelona Spain. As I planned my plane got delayed so I had to take the plane to Newark, New Jersey which was better for me because it was only one stop. As I arrived in Newark I got to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Finally after hours of waiting at the airport I was on my way to Spain. It was really happening, I was flying over that Atlantic Ocean and spending some time in Barcelona. I got here Monday morning, June 27th, as I stepped out of the plane I felt the humidity hit my face and little did I know that that is how the weather would be during my time here.
