i love the winter!!! well, i love the christmas spirit here. it's over the top. there are decorations on every street and they have lights set up EVERYWHERE. when you look down the street it's as far as the eye can see. i love it! and i went to la rambla today to do some Christmas shopping, and there were tons and tons of vendors out selling all their hand-made crafts, jewelry, chocolate, cheeses, wine, etc. etc. etc. i could go on for hours.
last night my roommate Monica invited me out to the "Christmas festival." it was near the main Cathedral in the "Barri Gotic," or the gothic part of town. i went of course because a) someone new to go out with, and b) who doesn't want to go to a Christmas festival in Barcelona?? it was beautiful! again, lots of vendors and many selling nativity scenes and other Christmas decorations. all homemade of course! and there were people out singing Christmas carols and dancing and lots of balloons and lights flying (??) around. it was a sight to see for sure.
today i hung out with my other roommate and we played with her wii and i have only played a couple sports games on it but we played Sonic and it was so fun! i just like having people to hang out with =) and they have only spoken Spanish with me so it's difficult but i like it that way because it's the only way to learn!
ahhhh i have more but i am meeting with a bunch of people at a restaurant because it's one of my friend's last weekend here!!! and we are meeting at 8, early for dinner! haha. i still can't get used to waiting that long for dinner though. but i will be back.. chao
