city of my ancestors part 1

so i´m sitting here in my hostel in barcelona, keyless, and therefore unable to take a much desired siesta antes de the halloween festivities. so i figured, hey i´ll do the only thing i can: update my blog. lucky you!

barcelona is so different from sevilla! its got a little more bustle to it. i love how chill sevilla is and wouldn´t want to study anywhere else, but its nice to feel this movement for a bit. not that its anything like a big city in the states, but its still faster paced than sevilla. its like a brisk walk where sevilla is a crawl and nyc is probably a sprint. yeah.
today i went to see some of gaudi´s work in the guell park. its the one with his famous benches. even though it was super overcast, the little plaza is still striking. you feel like you are surrounded by waves of earth and tile. i tried to take some artsy pictures, but they didnt come out the way i wanted. we´ll blame it on the lack of sunlight (sure, sure). tomorrow we are hopefully gonna go to the picasso museum (we heard it is free tomorrow) and to see more of gaudi´s architecture. maybe even hit up the beach for a minute or two or sixty.
