Barthelona
This weekend I had a lot of time to myself,time to really take in Barcelona and realize where I am, and what is it that I am doing. Being in Barcelona has not only cuturally influenced me, but has really opened my eyes to the brighter things life has to offer. The fact that there is a recession in America, and I am here living the dream that most people can’t say they’ve ever done is just incredible. I walk the streets and just appreciate every building I see. being on the beach and laying around the port is one of the most exhillaraing things for me to do here. I don’t feel as if I am in Barcelona when I am there. This weekend I ate at this restaurant called Champagneria. the Atmosphere was very cool. It is a restaurant where you stand up as you eat your meal, which was a big burger and they give you a bottle of champaign to drink. I got my food and my drink and stood outside on a gorgeous day. My Area which is literally a block from Sagrada Familia is more or less my second home. I feel so safe here. It is extremely residential and accommodates to my every needs, such as a dry cleaners, mani and pediucre places, restaurants, a 24 hour gas station called Respol, (which is great for late night!) This past Thursday night for my birthday my friends and I went to this club called Sutton, where we were taken care of by the owners son of the club. This club had to be one of the nicest clubs in Barcelona so far from what I have seen. It was amazing. here is a glimpse of what I have been seeing/doing and will be doing for my abroad experience.
As for the rest of my Travels, I will be going to Ireland and staying at the Westbury Hotel, which is supposed to be beautiful and then Israel for my spring break, which I am So excited for. I have been to Israel twice before, once for my brothers barmiztvah and then i went through a program called Taglit Birthright. overall, after all of the places I have traveled too, I couldn’t be happier with my decision in coming to Barcelona. This is single handedly the most amazing experience of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
