Just when I thought that I was getting out of Spain they bring me right back! Just kidding, you know I couldn’t stay away for too long! My younger sister has decided to follow in my footsteps and she is going to be studying abroad in Spain during this summer. She is hoping to get better at spanish which will help her as she pursues a career in hotel management. Also, we will be meeting up with my brother who has been teaching english in Portugal for the past couple years but has decided he wants to return home.
My parents are coming along too. I can only stay for one week as I have some prior obligations and I got hired for some freelance work starting in June. My flight leaves on Tuesday and I have to go through the nightmare of visiting Florida again before embarking on a grueling 9-hour flight.
Aside from the flight I am actually very excited for this trip. I rarely get to share my experiences with my whole family and as much as I love going it alone on these trips. It will be nice to have a group to travel with for once.
So what’s on the docket?
My mom really wants to see some of the architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona. He’s got some crazy buildings that have been discussed in every architecture school in the world. After that I am looking forward to visiting the picasso museum in Barcelona as well as the super trippy Dali museum.
I thought I would also visit a market this trip and try to bring back some good cheese and dried meats as I didn’t really have the opportunity to last time I was in Spain. I’ll keep you posted and try to do some live tweets while I am in Barcelona.
