Running around like a crazy person..

...pretty much sums up my time on the weekends (and certain days in Madrid, too).  Since my group tries to take advantage of the short time we have each weekend to travel, we really like to book it!

I don't have much time to write (I 'm leaving in about 10 minutes), but I'll give a quick update about Barcelona. SO AWESOME.  I went on a bike tour of the city, where we got to see different monuments, important buildings, and La Sagrada Familia, designed/partially built by Antonio Gaudi.  This dude was CRAZY.  He dedicated the last 20 years of his life to this church, and when he died, it wasn't even close to being done.  It STILL isn't but the plan is that it will hopefully be done by the 2020's (weird thought, huh?), around the 100-year anniversary of his death.  It's that huge.

Our final stop included lunch (and sangria, of course!) at the beach.  Which was awesome, except that it was cold enough that I was still wearing a jacket.  Wait, what?? I thought I was in Spain!

It's definitely starting to heat up this week, though.  I predict a veeeeery hot summer ahead of me.

I'll update more later, but for now, I have to run off to Club Metropolitan in my faaaaancy new polo to work.
