So ISA (the program that I'm working with for study abroad) took us to Sitges, a gorgeous little town about 45 minutes south of Barcelona. Sitges is the most beautiful beach that I have ever set foot on. And thankfully we went to the beach in Barcelona yesterday so I got to be cultured in the European style beaches where there are lots of women who feel it necessary to remove their bathing suit tops and men to walk around naked. So Sitges wasn't startling at all. But here are some of the pictures that I took while there. A bunch of people were talking about going back for a full day and renting a sail boat which would be awesome. I'll let y'all know how that goes.
So classes started on Wednesday. I'm super stoked about them. One of them is a Spanish art and cultural heritage class, and we get to go on six field trips to various churches, monasteries and museums in Barcelona (which means no lectures). And I've already learned a lot out of two class lectures. I feel like a dork but I find all that stuff really interesting, most of the other people in class are sleeping or not paying attention. And my other class is a Spanish language class. I really appreciate how they teach language over here. We can't speak English in class and we are forced to talk in Spanish to the professor. I've already found it very helpful. Sometimes I impress myself with how much Spanish I understand, but then there are times when I'm so lost that I don't really think people are speaking Spanish. But between me and my roommate we seem to be making it okay.
