the end :(

Sooooooo,
its comin down to the wire and I will officially be kicked out of my beachside flat in Barceloneta this Saturday, so sad!
Since coming back from Sping Break, Ive just been relaxing and enjoying Barcelona. Last weekend was cold and rainy so instead of taking the CEA trip to Mallorca I stayed in Barcelona and hung around with Laurie. It was nice to just relax and and recover from all the traveling. This weekend I went out Thursday night with Lily to Port Olimpico. There are all these little kinda sleezy clubs that get you to come in by offering you a free shot, which is basically just fruit juice anyways! But we had a great time dancing to the techno beats.
Friday night I went to Chabad house with Kim and Brian and it was so interesting! We went to services first, and then Rabbi Liebersohn´s house for dinner. There were probably about 20 people at dinner representing at least 6 countries: USA, Sweden, Chile, Mexico, France, England. Then on Saturday I spent the day hangin out at the beach and Saturday night I went to Atlantic with Laurie and her friends that were visiting.
Yesterday I went to the festival in Park Ciutadella with Lily and her friend Delana. It was huge! There were so many artist and food booths, live music and dancing, people starting their own drum and dance and acrobat circles. It was an ethnic festival and it really made me realize how many different nationalities live in Barcelona, especially Latin Americans. Also, there was a whole part of the festival specifically devoted to vegetarianism and animal cruelty. Needless to say, I think every tree-hugger came out for the festival.
So Sharone comes tomorrow! and I am smiling just thinking about her being here!
I have 2 finals on Wednesday, 1 on thursday and also final essays due on Thursday.
But besides the work I have, I will make some time to show Sharone around Barcelona before we set out on our travels... we leave on Sunday for Budapest, then we take trains to Krakow, Prague, Munich, and Amsterdam. Total we will be traveling for 17 days! So excited!
