Greetings from Barcelona, Spain

I have a few spare minutes so I decided to write a quick update. It´s 9:15 and I am the only one up.

Caught our train on time yesterday to Paris at 1:33 and it arrived around 3. Given that we did not have to catcg our shuttle until 7, we had a few spare hours in Paris. So, Tim, Charles, and I took a walk around the 5th arrondisement and ate an ice cream near the River before catching the metro to get our shuttle: It was a very hot day in Paris and, so it seems, even hotter than here in Barcelona.

Our flight left on time without any snafus, but we were unable to land at Girona because, due to fog, there was only 200m of visability and you need 600m. So, after circling the airport for an hour, we got diverted to Barcelona´s main airport. This ended up saving us money and we got to the hostel at about the same time as if we had landed earlier at Girona. We shared a cab into town with a French girl who had just been visiting family and was working in Barcelona. Luckily, she spoke fluent French, English, and Spanish. Along with our taxi driver, she was very nice and they both provided us with some important tips.

We arrived at the hostel around 1am and met G and Ben still at the bar. Everyone else had already headed off to bed. We checked out the nearby area a little bit and ended up heading off to bed at 3am.

Take care for now,

Brian
