The only way to learn the city of Barcelona, I've been beginning to discover, is to get lost in it. So that's what I've been starting to do. After my initial scare Thursday night, I realized at one point I just need to start walking around and exploring the city. People are friendly if you get lost too and need assistance, that is, if you can communicate with them. Saturday we spent time on the metro by ourselves for the first time and walked around the city. Sunday I rode the metro by myself for the first time and after only two days on it I already know it, which taking into consideration my horrible sense of direction, is highly impressive. These next 2 weeks my goal is to walk around the city and start to connect the dots, since you obviously spend the time on the metro underground. Here's some pictures of the city I took while exploring. Isn't it gorgeous??
(if anyone wants to move into one of these apartments with me, just say the word)
(don't ask me where this is, I have no idea. Really embracing the whole "get lost" thing)
(oh, this is just our neighborhood. our host mom works at that castle looking thing in the middle of the two buildings)
(Was lost wondering in the streets and saw this cool church, from behind)
(why are even their streets so pretty here??)
(Sagrada Familia - these pictures don't do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking and I could stare at it all day. Only 10 minutes from our house. #barcelonalife)
