So I know that I've been really bad about updating my blog. I attribute this mostly to the fact that the internet in our apartment does not work most of the time. The people here don't put much value on fast internet.
I am currently sitting at the BCN airport waiting for my flight to Amsterdam. This will be the first excursion my roomates and I are going on. We're also meeting some of Hannah and Lindsay's friends there. The 7 of us will be staying in one hotel room. I'm not sure how this is going to work out.
Tuesday was lindsay's birthday, so we surprised her with bottle service at ottozutz. This was one of the most fun nights we've had yet that continued on until the early hours of the morning.
Lately we've been doing a lot of exploring. Andrew, joe, adam and I walked to park guell last week and saw many more of gaudi's creations. I will post pictures to facebook soon (once my internet is back). Last night I was standing out on the balcony that we hang our clothes on and I got in to a spanglish conversation with our neighbor across the way. He saw that lindsay and hannah were in the kitchen and invited the 3 of us over to see his apartment. We went and met his 4 roomates. We were initially surprised when each of his roomates tried to kiss us on the cheek (both sides) but we got used to it. After seeing his place we invited him to ours. He brought a bottle of cava and we hung around our living room chatting about the hot spots to go to in Barcelona, the differences between america and spain and how loud the parties are that we tend to have at our place M,W,F and Sat. It was so cool to hang out with people that were not native to America for a change. Their english was very broken, but it was much better than any spanish that we could speak so we mostly stuck to english.
Sooooooo like I said I'm heading to Amsterdam, ill update about that when I get back. I'm sure it will be a trip to remember....sort of.
