its the cutest little beach town. Our tour guide said that it has a magical power and people fall in love with it there and i honestly felt it. I didnt want to leave. Luckily thats where carnival is so i will be going there in a week. Monteserrat was also cool. Forgot to mention that there was record lows in temperatures here and there were actually some flurries. Since they never see snow here and arent prepared for it all the spaniards were freaking out and some schools even got let out early. Montserrat had some snow so I got to see some snow this winter!
Montserrat has a monastery and an all boys music school. Its a very historical place but of course i liked sitges better. Also we went to a place for lunch and they gave us so much food. We had calcotada which is onions basically burnt and you had to rip off the burnt part and dip it in a sauce and eat it. It wasnt bad at all. We also got artichokes which i was happy about. Ive been eating more artichokes here than ever before. Loving it. we also had bread with rubbed tomato on it which is very popular here. Also we had sausage and salad. I think that was it....but it was one of the best meals we have had so far here and it was free so that was nice. Saturday Liz and i decided to venture out and we ended up finding this cool restaurant which huge pita like sandwiches.
Saturday night we went to the FC Barca game which was awesome. we had really great seats and of course they won.
Sunday we went to the MNAC museum which was really cool. The museum itself was set up really cool with the time periods separated and the room with the oldest time period was actually made to look like a church. After that we went to the mall which was made in the old bull fighting ring and got mexican food finally. We went home and did some homework and then went out to watch the superbowl. of course we are so slow and didnt leave in time to get into ryans pub which is where all the study abroad students were going to so we ended up going to Dunnes instead. We ended up meeting a sweedish soccer team and hanging out with them the whole night. Only a few of them spoke english but it was funny to talk to those who did speak english. They asked us at one point if justin bieber was our "fantasma" and we were like what is a fanstasma...its a fantasy...we though it was really funny. They also were all booing justin bieber and had no idea what the superbowl was but i got them to root for the giants anyway. This week classes were pretty cool actually. With my photo class i went to the born district and in my history class i went to the jewish quarter. Between those two trips i found some of the coolest restaruants and stores. Not to mention saw some of the best graffiti i have ever seen
Im so happy that i found these places and now Jaume I is officially my favorite metro stop. Last night we went to Nervo which was really good. This weekend were going to Madrid. Ill be sure to blog right after so I can give a little more descriptive post!
Adios!
