Barcelona was great! fun to be in a new location, appartently 'vibrant' is the impression everyone takes away from it, so i'll be repetitious and say that it was indeed vibrant, and colorful, and beautiful, and a very fun town.
it's about time for class already, so i'll just post this until i can write up more... simply a list of what sara and i did from noon saturday until 8pm sunday... hehe we did end up fitting a lot in...
I took a fairly huge number of pictures, some really good, a lot marred by cloudy weather - couldn't choose just one for now, so this is a painting miro did of barcelona, i believe from where the current back facade of the sagrada familia is... it did a good job of capturing the impression the city left with me, even in dreary January weather.
