Well let me start with a WOW, such an amazing city very beautiful and plenty to do!
Things started out a bit rough for me arriving though.... Firstly my suitcase with literally ALL of my clothes got lost, and I didn't get it back for 3 days, definitely wasn't ideal but I survived. Then I was not able to actually figure our where my Senora lived, and my phone wasn't working soooo needless to say I was starting to panic! But using the minimum Spanish I had some kinda gentleman called her and had here meet me outside, thanks random stranger! Ooo and I forgot my camera in AZ so noo pictures for atleast 1-2 more weeks sorry!
I am sure you are wondering about my host family, I live with a senora and she has an adult daughter that lives here is well, my senora speaks NO english so it is a bit difficult to communicate, when the daughter is there its much better. Their apartment is actually quite nice no complaints at all. I also have a roommate Ryan who is also a Junior and attends Lafayette College, hes a cool guy and we've been hanging out alot.
Getting to class is pretty simple thus far basically 30-45 mins of walking and metro rides depending on which campus I am on that day, the metro here is easy, and much nicer than any back in the states. Next week I will plan on giving you more details on classes in Spain and some differences etc.
Besides class we have been checking out some of the local bars and clubs, nightlife is much much different here as no one young or old goes out until atleast midnight and usually stays out until 4-6am.... As much fun as it is with classes, and finances, I won't be partaking too often, also the fact that alot of the places we have gone to end up being primarily other american students takes some of the fun out of it.
But overall it is safe to say I really enjoy Barcelona alot, the weather is mid 50's yep be jealous! The architecture and art is phenomenal, ive really only been to Parc Guel those far too. And there is just so much to do I have decided that Spaniards are very much into socializing and eating tapas and drinking vino and cervaza as much as they can.
Well thanks again for following me, hope things are going well back home for you all, enjoy life and be safe!
Adios amigos y familia!
Eric
