Barcelona


The morning after I got back from Ireland I was on a bus to Barcelona. I had booked a trip at a travel agency with a bunch of other students from the CSU program to go to Barcelona for 3 nights. The bus was about a 7 or so hour drive so we got there at around mid-afternoon on Thursday I spent the rest of that day just kind of wondering and having dinner. The next morning Myself, Jules, Kat, Lauren and Tobaus decided to buy a 2 day buss pass on the bus turistic, it’s a tourism bus that takes you all over the city and allows you to get on and off as you please. I spent the majority of the 2 days I was there doing that, the first day with the group and the second day with just Lauren. I was pretty worn out from Ireland so I didn’t enjoy Barcelona as much as I thought it would. It was SO crowded by tourists and I felt the city was a little dirty. I wasn’t in the best mindset for this trip. I spent a ton of time at huge monuments my favorite spots being Gaudi Park, the Gaudi designed buildings and this huge fountain that had a light show where the water danced and changed colors to the music. Barcelona was tons of fun don’t get me wrong I liked it a lot; it just didn’t make it to the top of my favorite places.

Here are some pictures from the trip!
