Barcelona, take II
Have I mentioned that I love this city? I've been here 2 or 3 days, I'm not really clear on time right now.. And I've been to the beach three times, seen a peruvian documentary, been at two concerts, eaten tapas and drank claras (half beer, half lemonade), played ultima
te, gone dancing, met new people (from all over-- barcelona, chile, colombia, switzerland, england...), visited my favorite cathedral in the city (Santa Maria del Mar), visited my host mom from last year, had cafe con leche and a chocolate croissant, and walked around the city a lot. Also today I borrowed the bici (bike) of the guy i'm staying with and rode around a lot. Its a good city for biking--lots of bike paths and/or wide sidewalks. At first my Spanish felt really awkward, but its getting better quickly, and I'm falling back into a Castilian/Catalan accent. Of course, I'll have to learn a new one in Granada... I'll be so mixed up in accents by the end of all this.. Oh well. Tomorrow I'm going to Tarragona to play in a beach ultimate tournament with my old team. Should be a good time, I'll try to take pictures. Unfortunately tomorrow is the day they do the Castellers (human towers) for the festival, which I won't get to see, but I guess you can't have (quite) everything... :) Anyway, I'm having a great time and looking forward to the year. I also have a few contacts in Granada, now--none that I've actually met yet--which makes it seem a lot easier. I have a place to stay while I look for housing and someone who wants to start an ultimate team in Granada. Also a friend of a friend from Georgia (the country) and some random exchange student from the U.S. whose blog I found while doing a google seach for things like "granada spain ulimate frisbee." Ah the internet. Okay, this is very rambly. But suffice it to say, I am well, and I hope all is well with you, too. I really do heart hearing from you! emails, skype, letters (once i have an address), whatever. okay, bed time. besos a todos.

Did I take this photo? Because I kinda think I did.
