Day 1

-Arriving in Barcelona was beautiful to see as we were landing. It is much more of a city than I thought.

-One of my favorite things about traveling (especially abroad) is meeting new people. As soon as Elizabeth and I landed, we met Matt, who is a part of our study abroad group. It was so fun and easy meeting and talking to him! Next, we met Summer, which was also so easy and fun. We stuck together, and we got to the hotel together and had lunch.

-As soon as we got to meet everyone else, it was like an instant connection with everyone, and I knew we were going to all get along and have a great time!

-Another one of my favorite reasons as to why I love traveling is because I am a big foodie! I love trying new food because I feel like it really gives an insight about the culture. I was amazed at how many bakeries there are here. Obviously, we went to a bakery, and I got a fresh plain croissant and a chocolate croissant. Of course, they were delicious.

-Another thing I learned so far was that Spaniards (and probably other European cultures), do not drink iced coffee.

-It was so fun exploring the town with everyone that I had met so far, and we got to see a lot of Barcelona while walking everywhere.

-To end off the night, we all had a group dinner at an amazing restaurant called My Way. It was such a delicious and fun restaurant!

-Overall, day one was awesome!
