Barca!!!

Alright here we go! Here are pictures from my Barcelona trip. It was freaking incredible. Possibly one of the best weekends of my life. I took a little over 300 pictures, ya definitely didn't think that was possible for me, but I took about 60 in the aquarium and about 30 at the soccer game so i guess it wasn't too hard. This is our hostel. 9 of us were in this room, 8 guys 1 girl...On a sidenote I hate that my camera put the wrong date on these pics so ignore them
This is Gaudi's "wave." He had to have been crazy, but his stuff is awesome. He also designed la sagrada familia, which you will see pics of soon.
So we climbed up this hill to a castle that overlooks Barcelona to watch the sun set on the city. From here you can see everything. There's the beach that we spent a couple hours at too:)
A picture of all the guys from the trip. We had a good time
Me and the Baker brothers being BAs at the castle. There were a bunch of cannons and stuff.
This is the fountain at Montjuic (sp?) It is the coolest thing, the fountain has a lights and music show. It plays classical music, the fountain changes all the time, and the lights change too. Sooo cool.
This is the huge building behind the big fountain. Pretty tight
These are three french dudes and a german who i played soccer with on the beach. They were pretty darn cool. Pregame one of the frenchies says "hold on, we gotta smoke and drink so we'll play better..." riiiiiiiight. I'm sporting my new rhonaldinho jersey which i bought for the game.
THE GAME!!! Incredible. I took this picture from my seat, which as you can see, was dang close to the field. There was only plexiglass and 11 rows of chairs between me and the field.
Ya, that's Rhonaldinho in the first half. Naturally he had to score both of his goals on the OTHER half right in front of the rest of our group. Not too happy about that. But it was still incredible.
A view of the most beautiful field I've ever seen in my life from higher up
Me at the field, pregame
Here is la Sagrada Familia, the huge, huge, huge cathedral that Gaudi designed. They started building it in 1882, and they have no clue when they're gonna finish it. No they aren't restoring it, they're still building it. It is going to be even huger. They're guessing it'll take another 100 years. They have another 10 towers to put up, to go along with the 8 that are up now, and the others are gonna be taller...

our reaction...jason needs to drop that O....
for my halo buddies..... EL PINGUINO!!!!! So we went to an aquarium, a freaking huge one. And there were penguins! which are my fav animal if you didn't know that. Oh yeah, there were sharks too
Told ya so. Big, scary, lots of teeth, looked pissed all the time. I would not want to run into this thing in the water. "He punches the shark in the face, and the shark says, 'ALRIGHT' "
Ok, well that was obviously just a tiny taste of Barca. We also found a sweet jazz club one night, walked down las ramblas, a crazy street with street vendors/performers everything. So I'm sure I left out a ton, but you're probly tired of reading this, and the guys probably stopped reading after the soccer game pictures:) The soccer game was incredible, and right now the only event that could possibly have a hope of topping that game, is if I get to see Les Mis in the queen's theater while I'm in London, which will happen:) Life is good here. I do have to switch houses because my senora threw out her back while making our beds. More to come on the move later this week. Peace!
