Hi everyone!
I thought I'd try to keep up a blog while I'm studying abroad in Barcelona so people can see where I am and what's been going on (and hopefully a bunch of pictures, too!). I'm hoping to travel around Spain, of course, and also to Italy, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, Morocco, and a few other places, so this will be a good resource to see what I'm up to and what I actually get to accomplish while I'm there :)
I leave in about a week, August 31st, on a red eye flight to Barcelona!! I found out that I'm living in an apartment with 4 other girls who go to Villanova (3) and UC Santa Barbara (1), and I'm excited to meet them already! We've been chatting a bit through facebook, and they seem nice.
I have a few friends studying around Spain (and Europe) as well, including Granada, Toledo, and Salamanca. I thought I'd include a map so you could see where I am (on the northern coast) and where I'll probably be visiting. My roommate, Liz, is in Paris, and another good friend Meri is in London. Then there are a whole bunch of people scattered around from Vienna to Florence! Seeing as I'm getting a Eurail pass for my birthday (a very very VERY nice birthday present), I'm sure there won't be a dull moment.
I hope everyone's doing well, and I'll try to post as much as I can while I'm overseas!
Hasta luego! Miss you all!
Love,
Mary
