A Post from across the 'Pond'

Well hello there, long time no post. So much has happened since the last time I posted that I dont even know where to start. I was in Ecuador last week which was nice because I needed a week to rest and relax before starting school. It was also great to see my parents, family & of course Anabel. I also got to see the new sky cabs they put in which take you to the top of a mountain which is at about 13,000 feet in elevation (Quito is at just under 10,000) I will post some pictures tomorrow so you can all see how beautiful Quito is & you can also see me up there at the oxygen bar.

I arrived in Barcelona on Saturday and spent most of the weekend jet-lagged. Although I will admit I did go out on Saturday night & ended up sleeping 14 hours straight on Sunday! Anyhow my roomates are great, 1 is from California and the other is from Holland. They are both nice, clean & we all get along good. The apartment is in a great area, safe yet central to everything. I started school yesterday & met alot of my peers. It great to be somewhere where there is soooo much cultural diversity. Tonight I didn't have a late class so about 16 of us went to play soccer. I can say that I am really enjoying myself here in Barcelona, it's an experience I will forever cherish (gee wizz you'd think I've been here a year already!)
