the first week is over.

Can't believe it went SO fast! Anyway, woke up latish today, so packed my stuff for school with me for the whole day. What a terrible IDEA! Did I mention that I carry a book, notepad and some other stuff to school everyday. Then add a camera, two lenses, bottle of water and you may get the idea of how (***) heavy my bag was. However this shall not ruin my day.

As I left the residence and headed for the metro, I was stopped by crowds and crowds of mad people with yellow bags. Then I remembered, Tour De France is in Barcelona! I was not able to cross the road to get to the metro, so waited for the cyclists too. Not overly exciting though. Once it was over, I got a metro to Plaza Espana. Place I wanted to visit since my bus journey from the airport when we drove pass it. It looked so monumental then. It didn't let me down - although escalators to get up the hill? Seriously?!

On the top, I enjoyed walk around the parks surrounding the National Art Museum of Catalunya. Passed the Miro museum but didn't go in. Yet again I chose outside exploring, over the inside one. Got a teleferic de Monjuic, took lot of pictures of Barcelona from above, walked down around the (boring) Olympic stadium. Got to school. Pretty straightforward I think. This time in no rush and without getting lost.

Friday evening is asking for some action, isn't it? We went to see a flamenco show - a let down. Had a sangria next door to the show place - not a let down.

Plan for tomorrow - park Guell and Tibidabo! Oh Yeah!

Buen Fin De Semana!
