Night 1

Night One= success! Who knew that wine was FREE in Spain? I could get used to that! We had a great, authentic pasta and seafood dish for dinner. I dared my friends to try the mussles, and they loved them... the clams on the other hand, they weren't so thrilled with! For dessert, we had flan! It was good, but not as good as my mommy's flan!!!

After dinner, we had a bunch of the kids in the group come over to our room, because everyone decided that we have the best room (YES!) But it's true... very spacious and views of a terrace and rose garden.

Eventually, we made it out to "La Rambla" which is the main drag through the center of town. It's basically a really large walkway that serves as a traffic median. There are a bunch of statues and fountains on La Rambla, and it leads to all of the good stores and restaurants. We spent a good amount of time taking pictures with the statues (typical Americans!) and eventually settled down in a martini bar. Really fun night, but have an early day tomorrow. We're taking a guided tour of the town, so we'll finally know the ins and outs. I can't wait to be familiar with the area, afterall, it is my home for the next month!

Buenas noches!
