Yesterday we had orientation. We all took the metro to Catalunya Square for a city tour. Here is a picture of our whole program gathering around before we began our Barcelona walking tour.
Here are some of the girls in Catalunya Square. From left to right (Jessica, Jessie, Allison)
While on the tour, we passed by the famous Gaudi house. There was also a special house next to Gaudi’s but I forgot its significance and name. See if you can guess which ones Gaudi’s. (It’s pretty obvious) haha
My favorite part of the tour was when we passed the Palau de la Musica. This is the first large-scale classical music venue in Barcelona. I have to see a classical guitar performance while I’m here. I only got a shot of the outside, but the inside is breathtakingly amazing. If you look closely you can see the small ticket windows inside the pillars. I thought they looked like small pizza ovens. Too bad aren’t used anymore.
After we passed the Palau de la Musica, we stumbled upon a “fire celebration”/ Riot in the streets of central Barcelona … I was a bit confused on what was going on and the tour guide wasn’t very clear, so I just took a few shots of some kids and caught up with the tour.
Towards the end of the tour we passed by the square where they do all the soccer celebrations and on the corner there was this small bar called Obama. I had to take a picture….
On a side note… here is a pic in my dorm room with some girls in my program. Left to right (me, Jessie, Allison, Jessica)
