Okay, so Barcelona is the most amazing place ever. While Rome and Athens were also cool, but overall, the impression I was left with was "Well, now I can say I´ve been here." This town, though... I´m already thinking about when I´ll get to come back. Athens and Rome both had this old thing going for them, but they didn´t feel so much like anything was going on now except for the tourism for the old stuff. Granted, I was pretty much only in the touristy parts, but Barcelona has this whole modern art thing going for it too, which I dig. It´s also fun to be hanging out with my fellow exchange students, on which subject, I will here patch in an anectdote which I forgot to put in the entry on Athens.
Four of us were wandering down this road looking at all the little touristy shops, and, figuring that it may be more advantageous to be Slovak tourists than American, we took turns not being able to speak English, with the others speaking in heavy accents with the vendors and translating to eachother. It was friggin' hilarious.
Much as I´d like to elaborate, I have to go now. Darn. I got peoples waiting on me to go to some park or something.
Oh, and so far, I´ve made it on roughly 5 euros per meal. No small feat. I´m pretty proud.
