This morning we checked out of the hotel, and walked to the train station, where we took the train to Barcelona. I sat next to this fellow by the name of Gran, who spoke several languages, but not English. Thanks to Spanish class, I could actually sort of carry on a conversation with him! After we got off the train, we went and saw La Sagrada Familia, which is this church/cathedral. It looks very different from the other church/cathedrals I've seen so far. It's kinda hard to describe, it definitely stands out though. After that we found a cool Columbian restaurant. Then we went to this park near the Castle of Barcelona and just enjoyed the beautiful day. Then we went to a monument to Christopher Columbus and just strolled around there. Then we went back to station and got on a train for Madrid, where we'll be staying with Silvia, a girl who my cousins hosted when she was a foreign exchange student in the US a few years back.
My flight leaves Monday morning from Madrid, and I'll get to LA that afternoon. Everything has gone by SO fast, and I can't believe it's been two weeks already. I've had the best time, and am so grateful to have had this opportunity. The next time I go to Europe, I'll want to take much more time, so it's not so packed full every day. I don't know how I'm going to re-adjust to life back in Ramona, but I miss my friends and family and will be very happy to see them again.
