Final Day in Barcelona

I woke up around 5ish to Nasha talking on the phone with the taxi driver.  I stood on the deck and watched her get in the cab before going back to sleep.  Pauli was going to meet me after she got off work at 2.  I ended up sleeping until about 1.  I got up and took a shower and then Pauli showed up shortly after.  She asked what I had done and I said slept!  I guess I was just really worn out from all the sightseeing we had done for the past week!  

So she said we would go shopping for a bit; she wanted to get something to send back with me for Cherie, Isaac, and Troy.  For those that don’t know, they were her host family when she was in the US 5 years ago.  Anyway, we found some cute things and she showed me this store I fell in love with.  It’s a Spanish store called Blanco and everything was so cheap!  I bought yet another bag for 4 Euro and some sunglasses for 3!  They had swimsuits for 8 Euro, both pieces, but I had already bought 2 here in Europe so I decided I didn’t need anymore! lol 

After shopping, she took me to her university to show me around and she needed to return some books.  On the way, we passed through this beautiful little park!  Its so nice to see people actually using the parks here in Europe.  You don’t see a lot of that in the states, but then again you don’t see parks that nice either! lol We ate lunch at the little snack bar there on campus.  We got a sandwich and a beer for 2 Euros!  She was trying to talk me into studying there.  She said all the masters classes are in English and that they have a lot of students from America there.  She also told me that the tuition for her entire masters program (just one year there) was only 2500 Euros!!!  I was like what?!  That is like the same price of just my summer classes!  

Anyway, I am considering it, but I don’t know what my mom would say! lol Plus I will be graduating in December and I don’t think I would be ready to turn around and come back to Europe in January and I doubt my mom would be happy!  Not sure if I would take a semester off or what.  We will see what happens I guess.  So after our lunch, we walked around a bit more and then we decided to go to a little café because I wanted to try Churros!  She said that you dip them in hot chocolate.  So we got a cup to share; they were nice and warm and delicious.  The hot chocolate was really thick and I thought that was interesting.  Then we decided we would get frozen pizza and some wine for dinner.  After dinner we decided to go to bed somewhat early.  I had to be up at 3am to call the taxi!  My flight left from Girona at 6:40am!
