Two weeks of normal before FeRiA

So we have two normal weeks of school before Feria de Abril begins in Sevilla (April Fair). During this time I...1. got a haircut for 12 euros in Sevilla, and it was actually decent 2. went back to dos de mayo to show christine and pam how good the food is and how great paco is 3. saw a movie in a spanish theater (remember me with Robert Pattinson) aka Recuerdame. We actually understood a good amount. 4. in the weekend between our spring breaks Christine and I went to Barcelona to meet up with some of her friends. We took our time actually enjoying this city since it was our last city in spain to visit other than Sevilla. Friday after we checked in and met her two friends Hillary and Kristen, we got food and then went to the beach to catch some sun and just enjoyed the day. Saturday and Sunday we did more sightseeing type things and saw Sagrada Familia, Parque Guell (both of these are by Gaudí), saw Kristen's host family's house which was the nicest spanish house I think ive seen yet, watched the Barce/Madrid futbol game on tv, then celebrated the win on the streets with the people of Barcelona, walked down las Ramblas, and just had a more laid back vacation-esq visit. We also walked in La Boquería (produce market), saw the Columbus monument, and Casa Milá (another Gaudí building). I forgot to mention that in Parque Guell, where one of the finals of America's Next Top Model was filmed, we did our own runway fashion model photo shoot for fun =] Quittte entertaining. It was nice because so far a lot of our visits have been more rushed because we want to see everything, and we had our own personal tour guide (thank you kristen!) and could just enjoy being in Spain.

  1. Barcelona = Amazing... Nothing quite like sitting on the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. Nothing against Rainbow Beach, but I think you win that arguement! Hope everything is going great... Dohman clan misses ya, but it sounds like things are going great (minus the huge volcano cloud!)
