well what havent we done this weekend, is the real question. on thursday ( cause the weekend starts on thursday here) phillip came with me to go appartment hunting in this neighborhood called gracia, and i found quite a few places but it was afternoon so everyone had left. then i tried some spanish mcDonalds, which was amazing, but im never going to eat it again, cause i eat mcdonalds about once a year which is more than enough. thursday night we went to a bar called gecko which a student from lasalle is the bar tender there, and i got to meet alot of students from lasalle, and everyone was very nice, but this was the PRE party, we ended up leaving at 2 and everyone else was going to this discoteque on the beach called opium until who knows when, but we were beat so me phillip, justin, and rosario left and got a cab home. well then we have friday where rosario and i went appartment hunting again, and had a little more luck but not that much, we got to see one this time but it was horrible so we moved on. later we met up with phillip after he got out of class and we went to placa de catalunya which is just downtown barcelona, we wandered around, and got something to eat at a place called ba-ba-bRea or something, and the food was SOOOOOO good, then as we were walking around we got handed some fliers for a bar called irsh bar, so we decided to go there, and it is a nice place. it is run by some irish guys and everyone there is either english or irish, so we fit right in. they also have a room for smoking and non smoking so we actually sit somewhere without getting a black lung. very important. THEN saturday we had big plans to go to guell park and the beach, but once we made it to the beach we walked for ever and ever so guell park was out of the question. after looking at the beach we decided to head back to placa de catalunya and find a place to sit. after making a pit stop at a store called decathalon to buy swim stuff and wait in line for a good 30 mins, we went yet again to irish bar, and sat around and watched a rugby game that everyone was really into. after a brief break one of rosario's friend paula invited us over for dinner, so we went there and had some amazing food. now tonight we are supposed to be heading over to irish bar agian for karoke, but since we cant leave the residence after 1130 on sundays we have to be back by then, so its going to be a short night for us.
aside from all the walking i did this weekend i have had a huge cold, and the weather here has been sucky, all rainy, cold and windy, not fun. but luckily i have kept myself very busy and been getting my daily dose of excercise dont worry.
also in the picture there is a green parrott, they are everywhere, they make so much noise squaking and talking to each other, but they are pretty.
