First Night in Barcelona
We're herrrrrre! We flew from Amsterdam to Barcelona (ironically, with way bigger seats than on our 7 hour flight) and managed our spanish enough to get a couple taxis to our hotel for the night, H10 Montceda. At first they were a little sketched out that 5 people were checking into a room originally reserved for one person, but they ended up giving it to us and serving us complimentary champagne :) Our room is definitely "cozy" but I already love it here. I can say that I am VERY grateful for our intensive language course that starts in a couple days. I feel like I currently have the Spanish of a preschooler...tops. But so far everyone also is generally fine with speaking English to us as long as it seems like we're trying (and miserably failing). Tonight we're going to "Sports Bar" (they keep it straight to the point) in hopes of watching the Rose Bowl game. Then sleeping foreverr and orientation tomorrow!
