Yesterday morning Barrett, Gavin, Geoff, Jacob, Savannah, and I boarded a plane and flew to Barcelona, Spain. It is pretty neat here. Finally we are able to wear short sleeves. The boys even wore shorts yesterday. We are all absolutely fascinated by the fact that it is so warm here, but yet the locals are still bundled up in their big coats and scarves. I guess they have never been to Germany.
Our fist order of business in getting here was to check out the beach. Of course even though the sun may be warm, the water is apparently freezing cold so you won't find anyone swimming about, but that doesn't stop them from enjoying the sandy shores.
We got there, rolled up our pant legs and just walked around in the sand. At one point Geoff decided to prove a point and actually jumped in. All the way! Crazy! But since we didn't have a frisbee or a ball with us, we found some amazing rocks to keep us busy for a while.
Along the shores were a few peninsulas that had these huge rocks at the end. Naturally we decided these would make a great jungle gym. The goal of each point was to get to the furthest rock without getting wet and taking a picture. It was a little tricky at times with slippery algae and rocks a little to spaced out, but eventually we reached out destinations.
The rest of our time up until now has just been filled with seeing different parts of Barcelona. There is another group of architecture kids from A&M studying here, so they have been kind enough to give us the grand tour. It has been great.
Hopefully later I will throw in the rest of my spring break story with the family. Have a lovely day!
