Victoria Etheridge- Day 5

Sunday was our first truly free day to enjoy Barcelona. Sydney and I slept in and got our day started by traveling on the metro to La Ramblas. We met with Matt for lunch at a gorgeous rooftop. The rooftop had views of the mountains, the beach AND the city! We got to take it all in at once. After lunch we explored the area and admired the old architecture. We did some shopping and bought a hairdryer with a European plug because I kept breaking the adapters. I always overpower my adapters in Europe with my hair tools so this will be a great investment! That evening Sydney and I went up to the rooftop at our hotel and to our surprise there was a language exchange going on. In Barcelona there is a group for people who are from other countries to meet friends and  help with language and cultural development. We joined the event and spoke with a local real estate investor, a man in finance from Ireland and an artist from New Orleans who has been in Barcelona for 15 years. It was so neat to see people from all ages, genders and backgrounds interacting and share their love of cultural immersion. That was one of my highlights of the trip for sure as it was a surprise and I love meeting new people!
