Leaving!!!

Hola Amigos!!! I am really gonna have to get used to using the spanish for the next few months... Yay! My trip to Barcelona begins and I am totally excited! I'll be working at a hospital with patients who have cancer and muscular dystrophy; I guess I'm gonna be doing a little of everything so I can't wait to go and start this new adventure. The bags are almost packed (although not completely so my Mom is definitely freaking out since my flight is in like a day) and everything in place. I'm going to attempt to explore as much of Barcelona and Spain as possible and then have a few excursions to other countries throughout my stay. I'm hoping to see my familia from England and maybe even see a few friends along the way :)

This is a map of of Barcelona (duh) and I am staying in the neighborhood of Montjuic near the Placa de Espanya... On the map its right above the huge green area on the left. My building is on the main avenue of Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes so now you should all have an idea of where I'll be sleepin' at night! The building is a typical apartment building but with the old Spanish flair to the outside architecture, I think I'm on the third floor, but you'll all be seeing pictures of that when I get there :)

Well, I think that I've got everything in order.... Mi dinero, mi casa, mi trabajo; now its just a matter of actually going there and taking advantage of everyday! Thanks to everyone who really helped me out with everything!!! Mom, Sonya, Smita and Dad, I'll miss you!
