Pigeons

One thing stands between me and completely falling in love with this city: the pigeons. They are flying rats with no regard for humans! These....creatures love to flock together in plazas and start flying about in all directions.  The day when one of those things flies into my face is the day I start crying in public in a foreign country. Let's pray that doesn't happen, though.  

THE ENEMY

Anywhoo, today was a relaxed day with class in the morning, an errand to get notebooks with classmates and coffee with Deniz.  We may have bopped into Zara afterwards for some necessities. Then, this evening I went on a "sunset jog" with other IES folk and two friendly supervisors. I can thank Miss Maddie Teren for the soreness I'll be feeling in my legs tomorrow. Just keeding. The jog was great and I got to see even more of Barca! We started off with a light jog from the IES Center and continued down past the Arc de Triumf, through la Ciutadella (the biggest park in Barca), and wrapped around the boardwalk and back.  As tired as I was at the end, I felt really good and sweaty.  My day in it's entirety was a good one and I hope I have many more like it!

Now, it's time for me to digest my dinner and pick out an outfit for my first real day of classes tomorrow. Yes, I'm planning my outfit just like when I was 5 years old and refused to let anyone else dress me.  But, before I go, I'll leave you with a picture of what Mercedes made for dinner tonight. Per usual. 

Cauliflower con queso, ensalada y chorizos
