Port Aventura

On Fridays we don't have classes, so last Friday we went to an amusement park... Port Aventura! The park itself is divided into 5 sections, China, Polynesia, Mexico, Far West, and Mediterranean. Each section of the park was themed and decorated accordingly. Here we are in China (below) excited to get on the first roller coaster of the day! Let me just add that we waited in line for TWO HOURS for this roller coaster. It was fun, but not enough to justify that wait!



For being such a large park, there weren't that many rides, and there were only two roller coasters. Since everyone was pretty much waiting on the same rides, most of the lines were really long, which got pretty annoying towards the end of the day. My group had planned to eat in the "Mexico" section, because we were really looking forward to the burritos and guacamole we saw on an advertisement. When we showed up to eat at 4:30, the restaurant had alreay closed, even though the park was open until 8. For some reason, most of the restaurants at the park closed early... except for the hot dog stands, but God knows I won't eat one of those! So, we ended going on one more ride and headed back to Tarragona for dinner. We all went to bed early that night to rest up for our weekend in France :)
