Hola!
I'm bringing you this message from Barcelona, Spain! Yes, at last Bryndan and I have finally arrived. We haven't sleep since...yesterday (?) after flying all night and all morning but with a stomach full of Gouda (I'm sorry, but I'm part Dutch and love the Gouda!) from our stop over in Amsterdam and many cups of caffeinated beverages we are ready to power through the rest of our day here.
I think, speaking for the both of us, we are completely overwhelmed (in a very good way). It has been quite the trek getting here but we are exciting to see the city and get out to our school. This being my first 'major' travel experience, I have come to the conclusion that perhaps no amount of preparation can ensure your readiness for how you feel when you go abroad for a significant amount of time. There is much excitement, hubbub and a little bit of uncertainty! But alas, we've only been here a few hours!
I will post some pictures soon (granted, so far it's mostly of food.) so you can see our new digs! We are living in the El Putxet area of Barcelona which is considerably further north than most of the popular tourist areas. It is said to be a more privileged area so it will be eye opening I'm sure to see the rest of the city. Did I mention we have a view of the Sagrada Familia from our garden???
Stay tuned!
