BCN cont

Hi! So i was tired and cranky when i wrote the last one and therefore will add a bit...sorry i have no idea how to work pictures :)
day 1:arrival at night, getting lost, walking with lots of luggage, finding my hostel, jet lag
day 2...exploring in the rain by myself...i found my way around town, ate gelatto, got lost, walked more, figured out the metro system, got lost, hung out with Jesus and went to bed early
day 3...i met some friends!! i hung out with Sasha and Angela all day. We got to see Parc Guell which depicts Gaudis architecture. it was awesome! we walked all over and found more hidden treasures. They are not believers bu tI was praying that God would give me opportunities to love people even while being a tourist. we chatted with some guys at the hostel for hours and then we all got dressed up to go to flamenco and dancing! a super fun night
day 4...Easter! i had to move hostels which was good since my room was full of guys the night before. a bit sketch. i found my way to a small hidden church and actulally felt so at home! i loved it!! it was so joyful. I wanted to get out of the tourist scene so hiked all over town and prayed and enjoyed spain
day 5...sasha and i met up to go to montserrat ! it was a beautiful monastery and hike outside of barcelona...it was soo hot! and we met some cool people there too. God is so good :) We came home to make a cheap pasta dinner and then i got to know some of the people in my new hostel
day 6: im going to the beach with some guys from my hostel and will get some last Spanish souveniers and treats. We are then meeting a bunch of travelers for traditional tapas tonight, one last time. Its off to Africa tomorrow! Luckily a big guy from New York is leaving for the airport at the same time as me, 7am tomorrow, so we will help each other get there. Im nervous but ready!

  1. Hi Angela, We are so happy to hear from you and about the exciting and very interesting time you are having. It kind of reminds me of the time when I traveled around Europe alone when I worked in Germany and traveled in nearby countries whenever I had time off from work.The photos are great. We pray for you every day. Blessings, Love, Aunt Martha and Uncle Ted
