Saturday - June 15th

Saturday I was planning on getting up early to head out for the day, the alarm went off, and I decided to sleep as late as I wanted. I may be in Barcelona, but on the weekends I am on vacation and during the week I get even less sleep than when I’m in school. So, I woke up at 1:00, made some pizza with Paco and Harold, and then I spent the afternoon at the beach. This time I went to Bogatell. This is also the first time I went during the day, and I definitely got a little pink! But I don’t care too much, it’s not too bad and at least the weather is good. It’s11:00 at night here and still 80 degrees Fahrenheit! Two weeks ago it was 50 at night and there weren’t too many tourists, now its 80 and the tourists are all over the place like a swarm of ants. I finished the evening taking the metro up to the national palace where I took a video of the fountains. There is a huge fountain in front of the palace that is synchronized with music that plays every half hourThursday through Sunday after 9:30. It was actually really impressive to watch, and it was packed with people. (I would guess mostly tourists).
A few random notes to add. Out here you can buy cheesecake cups. Yes, it’s true. They are like a hostess style desert, you open it up and there is a little cheesecake. Definitely something they need to invent in the US. I also ran into my first parrots this week, a couple of bright green ones down by Nova Icaria.
