On Wednesday I did something really crazy for me. I skipped
classes and took a 26-hour trip to Barcelona for a concert.
I’ve actually been planning on doing this since January. We
found out Mumford & Sons would be planning in Barcelona and since plane
tickets were 15 Euro each way, why not?
The day began taking the bus to the airport at 6:00 in the
morning. This was my first time flying with Ryanair, but it was really easy
because all any of us had was a purse.
Upon arriving in Barcelona, we took the train to get into
the city and then the Metro to La Sagrada Familia by Gaudi. It is so big! It
also isn’t completed yet. It was started in 1882, but won’t be
finished until 2026. Whenever it gets finished, I would really like to
come back and see it.
After some lunch in McDonald’s (Yes, I know. But it was
cheap and we needed wifi.), we headed to Park Güell. I really loved it. Gaudi
designed this also. It was just really nice to have a bit of nature in the
middle of the city.

I’m really excited to be able to return to Barcelona for a
longer visit at the end of April!
