Hey yall, unfortunately I don´t have time for a full post with pictures and everything. I finished up my studies in Barcelona. The class ended with a whimper, as our teacher is pregnant and got sick and was unable to teach the last classes, so we just took a quiz then our exam. On the whole, my time in Barcelona was really fun, but it felt more like 4 weeks of extended tourism with some Spanish classes thrown in, rather than a true study abroad. I didn´t really meet any locals, but that´s ok. My Spanish did improve, and I had a great time taking in one of the greatest cities in the world.
We (me, my brother, and some friends from the spanish program) left Barcelona and headed to Madrid. Our first day there, we mostly recovered, but also did some walking through the city center, which is very cool. Then, we went to Pamplona, for the San Fermin Festival, which includes the running of the bulls. Charlie and I both ran with the bulls, which was great. It was over before we knew it, and we were never within 6 feet of any of the bulls, so I didn´t feel like I was ever in danger. The whole festival was a lot of fun, a great party.ç
Yesterday we went to Toledo, which is a medieval city outside of Madrid. Very neat city. Pictures soon, hopefully (at least a facebook album link).
Tomorrow we are going to a 4 day music festival, FIB http://fiberfib.com/
It should be a ton of fun. Afterwards, we are flying to Switzerland, then off to Berlin, then to the low countries.
Hopefully after my hikes I have some energy left to make some sweet detailed posts, but no commitment or anything!
