Our hotel has a rooftop terrace where you can go to lay out and tan. A small group of girls and I have been spending a lot of time up there. There's an INCREDIBLE view of barcelona. I'm not normally one to notice architecture, but it's impossible not to here. Not only can you see La Segrada Familia (not in pictures), but there's all kinds of amazing churches and random buildings that you can see from the roof.

 

The buildings in general are spectacular. There are a lot of buildings with balconies, churches, and narrow ally ways all around the city.

Last night was a welcome dinner for all the students. We went to a restaurant called Milk, where they served us a bunch of small appetizers and drinks. 

After, a good portion of the group decided to go to an Irish pub. I'm not sure why we're still going to pubs when we're in Spain, but it was super fun! The pub is named George Paynes (I think...) and the Poland-Russia soccer game had just ended. It was packed with Polish people and they played a lot of American music. When I went up to the bar to get a drink I noticed that one of the bartenders was a little girl. I tried to snap a picture without her noticing, but it didn't come out that great. It was late at night, and she was taking drink orders and serving people! How crazy is that?

 Today after class we stopped by a small bar to get lunch. We sat outside and ate something that I can't remember it's name. I believe they were some sort of potato product stuffed with meat. We want to try all the small restaurants by the school, or at least the cheap ones.
