Back in Tarragona!

It's been  really nice to be back in Tarragona! We've had our usual classes this week, and then we have actitivites in the afternoons. On Monay, we had a "photo rally" which is similar to a scavenger hunt. We had a book with photos of buildings and statues around the city and a worksheet with questions conrresponding to each photo. For example, we'd have to go find whatever was in the picture, and the question would be "What is the name of the bar next door to this building." Sam and I had a really fun time with it! It had taken the previous groups over an hour to do, but we were done in 25 mintues!!! I think we'd be really good together on the show, The Amazing Race! Since we finished so early, we had time to go to the beach before dinner, and eventually everyone made it down to join us. The weather was GORGG on Monday, and almost everyone got into the water. I was standing in water up to my shoulders, and looked down and could see my pink toenail polish. The water is so clear and amazing.

Our activity on Tuesday was another tour of medeival Tarragona. It was bearable the first two times, but no one wanted another guided tour of the ruins. Luckily, it lasted only an hour, which gave us time to shop and eat ice cream on La Rambla. While shopping, a bird pooped on Samantha! It was gross, but is considered good luck in Spain and many parts of Europe. We're hoping the luck will rub off on the big futbol game Satuday night... GO BARCELONA! We had a great dinner (as always) at Bar Delta. It was a pasta with garlic, shrimp, and portabella... right up my alley! After dinner we stayed in to relax and video chat with our friends back at JMU.

We're verrrrryyyy excited for today. We're done with classes and just got back from lunch. In 20 minutes, we have to meet up to get on the bus to go to Cambrils, a nearby town. There, we're going for a long bike ride along the coast! I haven't been on a bike since the last time to visit the Milots in Florida, so it's been a little wihle. I CAN'T WAIT. Gotta go find my sneakers and put on some sunscreen, but I'll post about our adventures later :)
