La Playa: The Beach

Hola.

Today, my study abroad group took a trip to Sitges, an ancient Mediterranean town about 45 minutes outside of Barcelona. The sun was hot, and the water was warm and clear! ALMOST, better than Beach Haven.

After a sun-soaked day at the beach, a little relaxation was needed at the rooftop pool at my dorm. I've also included some pictures from our roof-top terrace here. Enjoy!

Bienvenidos a Barca: Welcome to Barca

I've arrived!

After a grueling 7 hour BA flight to Heathrow, followed by a 5 hour lay-over, followed by a 2 hour flight to Barcelona, I made it to El Gran Havana.

So far, I have seen Barcelona from a cab-drive to the hotel. But I have three and 1/2 months here, so I think I will be alright.

More to come. Orientation begins tomorrow.
