The past few days have been wonderful. I've been spending a lot of time exploring Barcelona and continuing to get oriented. I love this city. Yesterday I sat in a cafe for a few hours and did homework and wrote in my journal. It was a great afternoon.
One of the highlights of the past few days was last night. I decided to stay in and relax with Juan Antonio and Nene, my host parents. We had dinner together and then sat in the living room and talked. They are such wonderful people with good hearts. Additionally, they remind me so much of my parents which has kept me from feeling homesick. Nene is full of energy and incredibly caring. She's hilarious and constantly moving. Juan Antonio is pensive and calm, but also has a quick wit and is constantly cracking jokes. Their interactions are just like my parents. I feel SO lucky to have been placed with them. AND they offered to let me continue to live with them this summer. Could things be any better? Probably not.
Tomorrow I'm going to Rome with two girls from CIEE. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and write down lots in my journal. If anyone has suggestions for sites to see, EMAIL ME.
Not much to say. Hasta for now!
New obsessions: getting lost in the city, hanging out with my host parents, and not being able to read Catalan.
