Very early Sunday morning, the four of us headed to Barcelona and arrived around noon. We had our first RyanAir experience - which is one I never want to repeat. 3/4 flights were on time over spring break, but RyanAir is nothing but organized chaos. No seat assignments makes for an interesting free for all. Our hostel was great! Just off the main strip Las Ramblas. We wandered for most of the day and Mike acted as our tour guide as he had been there before. Monday we woke up early to do a hop-on hop-off bus tour. As soon as the tour started, it began to snow! Barcelona sees snow about once every 6 years and we were there that one day. A couple inches ended up sticking to the ground making the bus ride interesting. They eventually cancelled our tour, which was fine because we had seen the two main stops that we were interested in - Gaudi's Park Guell and Familia Segrada.
Tuesday however was beautiful! Sunny with a high of 75. No joke.
We walked to the beach and tried so paella (not a fan..) and explored until our flight Tuesday night to Paris.
Mike and the paella. ^^
Today is a beautiful day in Roma, and I'm headed on a day trip to Orvieto tomorrow.
Calcio news - our star player tore her ACL in our game on Wed. after getting a hattrick.
I have unbelievable bruises from this week's game.
But my team chocolate prevailed over team purple.
Ciao, Lex
