Hablas espanol?

I have been wanting for a while now to go see Spain and finally got the opportunity to do it. I managed to get to Barcelona on a flight for a pretty good price, the only downside is I had to go alone. I got into Barcelona right around noon and was welcomed by my old friend that i havent seen in months....the sun. It felt pretty much amazing to be warm again. It was around 70 degrees for the entire timeI was there, but to me it felt like 90 compared to what ive been in lately.
After i got into the city from the airport i first made my way to the hostel to drop all my bags off and check in. It was quite a fiasco trying to find it, but well worth the trouble. Best hostel yet by a longshot. The rooms were pretty nice, nothing special of course, but the social life at the hostel was amazing. I met alot of people the first night, we went on a "Tapas" tour which took us down a few back alleys then we went to a local resteraunt. We had some amazing food with Sangria, basically a very fruity wine. It was a good night, i met Eugene an aussie that night and we got to hang out pretty much all the time in barcelona. He was stranded there for a few weeks (he just got out of there today) because they went to a bar one night and all of em fell asleep on the train coming home, his pocket got cut open and wallet stolen. So that sucked, but we still had a good time in barcelona. I met some guys living in Barcelona too both from Canada but living there for a few months. We all went out and did a bar hop that night and they showed me some local sights that are cool at night.
The next day i made my way to the olympic museum, which wasn't really olympics it was more of a general sports museum with a bunch of olympic stuff thrown in. One really cool thing was they had the torches from the past 40 os so olympics, both winter and summer. I thought that was pretty cool since each one reflected the culture to some extent. Then i went to a pretty cool art museum, saw some picasso which was cool, but im pretty burnt out on museums these days. After the museum i took a cable car, which i thought would go near the hostel but then made a turn to go up a hill, and ended up at a castel on top of a hill right on the water. It was the most amazing sight ive ever seen I think, you could see the mountain ranges, the ocean, the beach, and the massive city. And of course, i went to the aquarium, it was decent. One AMAZING thing was that they had sea dragons (Aunt Aue / Uncle mic we saw those in the boston aquarium years ago, never seen anywhere else). So that was amazing, then i went and walked along the water near the beach for the remainder of the day basically. That night i met up with the same guys and we basically did a repeat of the night before and a bunch of other people joined in with us, a few Swiss and some French guy. Pretty fun group we had a blast.
The last day I was there me and a guy from Canada were going to try and get to the Formula 1 track right outside Barcelona because a 24 hour race was starting that race that was Porche series cars and it was a free event. We figured we'd go check it out for a few hours before i had to head to the airport. Although we really tried hard, we couldn't get there. We got the run around for about 2 hours trying to get to the city of the track. Apparently the ENTIRE city closes down on race day though so we had no luck whatsoever getting there. So we headed back to the hostel to regroup. Oh, and funny event i illegally got on the train to go back, just jumped over the little gate hahaha. So we got back to the hostel and played cards with some Swiss guys for an hour or so, then i went out alone for a few hours to go to some markets(it was a saturday) and just check out a few things i missed.
Soooo all in all it was an amazing trip. probably my favorite trip yet, which is strange since i was alone but i met some pretty incredible people and sitll keep up with a few of them. Definitely makes me want to look into trying to work there for a short period after graduation, apparently Samford can set me up with a job for 1 on 1 tutoring english there and basically i just talk in english with a kid for a few hours a week. Pretty sweet deal i thought. But who knows if that will ever work.
