What is happening and all that jazz with everyone? I know, it was a long week for me and the new one is just beginning! Are you ready for a new entry??? (Loud cheering and general stupid remarks...) I realize that I'm really not that good of a typist after reviewing some of my previous entries so I promise to use the stupid spellcheck if I have some time leftover after posting pics today.... I really think that the pictures help say more for me then just writing about it... Besides, when I see all of youse guys again, its all I'm gonna talk about, so be prepared.
What has happenend??? Well, I think that I can barely remember but I'll try to all the same!
The end of the month came and we had to say goodbye to Nina... She was my outdoorsy roomie and we had some good times trying to find our way into the humongous cemetary near (or in) the park. Though we never made it, the walks and random discoveries were always fun. We had a little dinner and meant to go out dancing or something afterwards but ended up staying in and hanging out (more because other members of the party had partied too hard a few days before and were still feeling the effects... oh, so funny).... That's me being stupid and trying to pull off the Buddy Jesus thing... Frederico recognized it, so it wasn't all bad :)
The day after on Saturday we had to stay in and clean and prepare the rooms for the new people and we said our good-byes to the beautiful Nina. That night we went to Barbara's piso for internet use after a delicious meal at the coolest Japanese restauraunt I have ever been to. The food was soooooo good that I could barely walk afterwards. I never knew that there was so much more to the Japanese cuisine then sushi and sashimi and whatever other raw stuff that's out there! We created MSN accounts for myself and Barbara so we could talk during the down time at our internships; too bad I don't have the internet!
Sunday was a nice slow day... Monica, Barbara y yo visited the Monister Pedralbes in the north part of Barcelona. It was so beautiful and quiet, just the sort of tranquility I needed that morning. The bus ride was pretty long but worth it. Plus, it was the first Sunday of the month, so the entrance was gratis! Can't beat free :) I was being goofy and pretending to pull the bell at the front of the monestary.... The girls took the picture then walked away really quickly!!! Even I have to admit though, I look like a real idiot. Lol.
After a nice long time at the monastary, we hiked through the city (with no shade to be found ANYWHERE!!!!) and found our way over to another park where there is a ceramics and decor museo where the queen once lived. The same queen who commissioned the monastary actually! Ah, those folk who like to buy their way into heaven. :) We passed a park that was like an homage to Gaudi with a really cool dragon/lizard gate at the entrance. I was trying to get high up enough to put my head in the monster's mouth, but shorty that I am couldn't even come close! The park and the building were really gorgeous but as Monika said the ceramics and museum were "Bonito pero aburrido!" We headed back to the center of the city where we checked out the sales and then ended the day with STARBUCKS!!!!! Yay! My first (and probably only) frappucino in Barcelona. Yes I took a picture, it was delicious.
Now I have to find time to put up pictures of my workplace and the weekend in Figueres, the city that lives and breathes all things Dali! I hope that everyone is doing fine and is happy and healthy and I miss you all!!!! BTW, Happy Belated 4th of the July... My american roomie and I shared a watermelon. It seemed pretty celebratory. :)
