barcelona.

I have to many good things to say about Barcelona, I could go on for days about it. In the four day weekend trip to the Spanish country I saw the tourist sights, went to the beach, dipped my feet in the Mediterranean sea, ate tapas drank leche de pantera, had a tortilla de patatas sandwich and got to see the city's nightlife with a friend who I meet in Goteborg, Sweden this past August. Roma meet up with Aria and I on Friday evening and said he was taking us on an adventure. He kept it all a secret and just said be ready to see Barcelona. We meet Roma at 6:30 a few stops on the metro out from plaça catalunya at a small restaurant for some traditional patatas bravas and a beer. That was only the start of our night in Barcelona. From there we went to another handful of places serving more small courses of food and home made drinks from wine to champagne. Everything we had was so full of flavor and a great unique taste to it.(much better then food in london) I would have never known of these places without Roma to guide us around feeding us amazing food, pointing out buildings and monuments while giving us the history of the city. Best tour ever. After all the food, drinks and a bit of dancing we had to get back to our hostel to get some rest for our last full day in the city on Saturday. The baest way to see any city is with someone who lives there.

We got up and decided to go down to the beach and rent bikes. Bikes were the best idea ever, we got to see so many more sights then walking everywhere. Unlike London we were once again on the right side of the road, so dealing with traffic was not a issue. Barcelona also has a nice system for citizens to use bike free of charge and drop them off at different points around the city. After seeing more sights and taking loads of photos we meet up with Roma again for yet another amazing night of delicious food and drinks. We got another nice tour of the Gothic district and stopped in a few places along the way to shop and eat. We then meet up with a few or Roma's friends who we were going to go out dancing with that night. While at their apartment we played Sign Star for a while before heading to a underground club just off of las ramblas. An amazing night filled with lots of new friends and great memories.

We had to be out of our hostel by 11 and to the airport fr our Ryan Air flight back to London at 2. We made it through with no issues, just took so long from the airport back into London. It was hard coming back to London, with the weather being cold, and rainy. I now have five more weeks of class and a extra ten days after universitys done till I come home to piles of snow.

A few of the 436 pictures I took, it was hard to narrow it down. Thank you Roma for an amzing time Friday and Saturday evenning making it one of the best weekends of my life. I will never forget it.
