GO!!!!

So after 12 hours of flying time, a 2 hour layover in Philly, and a few airplane meals later, I'm here!!

I arrived this morning around 8am Barcelona time (midnight Denver time), and was the first to arrive at my apartment. After unpacking and taking a much needed shower, 2 of my roomies arrived, Megan from Villanova and Elizabeth from UC Santa Barbara, and we spent some time getting unpacked, grocery shopping, and of COURSE taking a nap. The time difference is definitely taking its toll!

Already, some of the Barcelona customs are sinking in. For example, no one eats dinner here until around 10 or 11 pm. Luckily, my internal clock is messed up enough from the flight and time change, that I could have had dinner at 11pm or 8am and wouldn't have known the difference.

My apartment is GORGEOUS. I have my own room (yay!) and there are 2 other singles and a double. So far my 2 roomies are really great and grounded. I've met about 10 other girls who are living in my building, so it's got somewhat of a sorority house feel to it, and everyone is just as excited to be here as I am. I still can't believe I'm really here!

Well I'll try to get some good pictures in the next few days and post them, but until then, I'm safe and sound, and already having a good time!

Hasta luego!!
Love,
Mary
