So this last week wasn't too eventful in the way of picture taking so this blog will be short and sweet. It will give you a nice break from the marathon blogs I have been posting lately. ;)
BUT as I said last week, I had the opportunity to go to the Barça v. Arsenal game, and it was definitely one of the craziest/best experiences I have had. It started off a little rough because tickets were impossible to get. I didn't think I would be able to go, but after I scalped a ticket 15 minutes before kickoff and got over the fact that my seat was in the middle of the Arsenal fan section, it was great to see Barça win! :)
I took a few pictures and video, but the Arsenal fans around me started to notice I was taking more pictures and videos of Barça, so I had to limit myself. haha

| I had a good view! (Yes that is a net, it separated the Barcelona fans and the Arsenal fans...it was definitely necessary lol) |
I took a couple of videos. Nothing too crazy happened during them, but it still was a good atmosphere! And I wanted to post them, but they wouldn't upload for some reason...I know, it is sad, but maybe I will post them later if I can figure it out!

The rest of the week was just busy with school...fun, I know. On the weekend, a few of the other students' families came to visit so we spent a few days showing them around to a few of our favorite places and a couple of new ones. One of the new places we went was Tibidabo, which is the highest point in Barcelona. At the top of this hill/mountain is a Basilica and a park with a bunch of carnival rides. It amazing views of the city and the surrounding countryside and it probably became one of my favorite parts of the city!

That's about it for the week! I know it was real short, but I can almost guarantee that the next one will be a long one. Especially after spending a whole week in The Netherlands, and seeing something new everyday! I am very excited about it, but I don't speak dutch, so it could be interesting.... lol
Until next time...
Un abrazo,
