Barcelona

Hey All--
I write you from Madrid. We arrived here this afternoon, after David drove the six hours in a rented car from Barcelona. Barcelona was absolutely beautiful. We walked around the city, saw the Arc d´Triomphe, the Sagrada Familia, the port and bay and some of the old Olimpic Village buildings. We were completely astounded by the size and artistic detail of Parc Guell, a park designed by Antonio Gaudi, the famous Spanish architect. We crazily met up with another group of 5 TU graduates who are also doing a post graduation trip. We had a great time eating an authentic Spanish meal, paella and sangria. It was my first time in Barcelona (I never made it when abroad), and I was thoroughly impressed. The weather was beautiful and the monuments and museums followed suit. Best wishes to all, and news from Madrid and my return to Salamanca is to follow.
