new friends [barcelona, spain]

We met new girls earlier in the morning at our neighborhood breakfast and we went together and signed up for some field trips and other stuff. Later on we all went out to a party at the flat of one of the guys we met the night before - really nice people. We mostly walked around the city all night (very safe in big groups) to the Arc de Triumf, Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter), and Las Ramblas, which are all places you could never go alone or with people who don't know they're way around the city. They can be pretty dangerous for dumb tourists, but I'm so glad we could see it all at night because it was really beautiful.

Because there were people from Mexico, France, and a bunch of other places, I got to practice my Spanish and French. I'm usually nervous but after a couple drinks it got a lot easier and we were speaking almost entirely Spanish. It's a good thing I learned so much because we got home around 4am and I accidentally slept through my first orientation Spanish class... I think I learned more with them though. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of them!
