Thurs, 3/12: Dinner at Favorite Restaurant
Tata and Denis arrived on Thursday. After my class ended at 5, I walked over to their apartment to meet up with them. I took them to the port and wandered a bit with them. Then we went to the restaurant that Me and Jen had found while she was here. That restaurant soon became our favvorite.
Fri, 3/13: Montserrat
On Friday, Tata and I took the train to Montserrat, the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen. We had the intention of hiking them, but the trails proved a bit too terrifying for Tata's fear of heights. We took tons of pictures and then the cable car up the top of the mountains, where I took a trail by myself and found my way to the tip of a moutain peak. It was an amazing experience. up with Denise for dinner and found a restaurant somewhat near where they were staying and then met up with Hannah and Katie for Sangria at Oveja Negra. The Hannah, Katie and I went to Roxy for a while.
Sat, 3/14: Parc del Laberint d'Horta & Tibidabo
On Saturday, we had quite a productive day. We started off the day at the Park of the Layberinth in Barcelona. It was some random thing that we saw in other people's facebook pictures, and therefore decided to explore for ourselves. It was pretty cool. The park was beautiful, perfect for picnics and hiking, and ending with a huge maze that looks a lot easier to get around than it is. We weren't lost in it for that long, but it was confusing. We took some really nice pictures too.

Afterwards, we headed to Tibidabo, which is the mountain in Barcelona, and also the home to a carnival like place. We didn't go into the amusement park, but we did see the church outside of it and go to the top of that. The view from the top of the city was really nice, and took 3 modes of transportation to get to.Sun, 3/15: La Rambla, Boqueria, Erotica Museum & Playa
On Sunday was more of a day to relax. I met Tata and Denise at their 
apartment and then we walked over the Rambla so that they could see it. I took them to the Boqueria and we bought a bunch of fruit and some juices. Then we went to the erotica museum because it was right there. That was a lot of fun. I got to watch porn that was made for the king back in the day. It was like watching a car wreck, it was so bad, but you couldn't help watching it. I also saw quite some disturbing things, but it was fun anyway. Then we went to relax on the beach for a little bit and read. I took a nap in the sun and woke up next to a topless woman, but whatever. It's kinda the norm here. Hannah and Katie met up with us after their horseback riding adventure. When it started to get chilly, Tata and Denise took a cab back to their apartment and we went to go get Churros and Chocolate, which was the best idea ever. Then I went back to my apartment, where I finished up my homework and stuff like that.

Monday I had class all day, so Tata and Denise went off to do their own thing. They went to see
some churches and things along that line. We met up for dinner at our favorite restaurant once again and then grabbed a cab to Chupitos. Hannah and Katie met up with us. We ended up doing at least 8 shots a piece, and Tata made friends with the bartender. They even sung to me at midnight for my birthday and I got to blow out a candle. We did the finding nemo, Creme de la Creme, Boyscout, diablo, harry potter, Pop Rocks, Willy Wonka, and some more that I don't remember the name of. It was a lot of fun.

Tuesday was my birthday, so I pretty much got to do whatever I wanted (I love that rule). I went to Spanish class, and then met up with Hannah and Katie in the library. For my birthday they gave me a really cute poem, my first legal beer, a Beauty and the Beast Pen, Cups for Beer, and a Chocolate Crossoint. It was one of my favorite gifts of all time. Then we went to the park to lay and read until Tata and Denise came and found us. Then we headed off to get my hair cut. For some reason, that is what I really wanted to do on my birthday, as well as take a nap and buy a birthday outfit. The haircut took longer than expected so the nap got cut out of my schedule but I did end up getting 3 dresses. Then we all met up to go out for Cuban food, something I had been craving for far too long. It was amazing and Katie and Hannah really liked their first Cuban food experience too. By the time we left, we decided that we were all pregnant with Cuban Food Babies. We all picked off each other's plates and ate tons of apetizers and desserts. It was really a great birthday dinner. Then we headed to an Irish pub, since it was St. Patrick's Day and all. I got to drink cider and just have a fun time. We ended the night pretty early, so I guess it wasn't the typical 21st birthday (I remember all of it), but it was a great one, especially considering I couldn't be home with my family.

Wed, 3/18: Dinner
Wednesday I had class again, so Tata and Denise did the rest of their tourist-y stuff. We met up for dinner at the restaurant for one last time. After dinner we walked to the gothic area because they wanted to do some last minute shopping, but their was a huge protest going on, so everything was closed. We grabbed a cab to my apartment and I finished packing my suitcase for them to take home. Then we said our goodbyes and I walked to school to use the internet, since we long the wireless in our house.
