This morning Caroline and I took a bus and a plane to get to Barcelona! Flying RyanAir is definitely an experience; the entire 75 minute trip is an advertisement. We had to take an hour long bus to get directly into the city and then spent awhile trying to find our hostel. We had our own room and a balcony overlooking the street. 
The metro wasn't hard to figure out because I lived in Boston my whole life. The first place we went to was Montjuiic. We ate churros and saw where the 1992 Summer Olympics were held. The whole city is much larger than Florence and I was already in love with it!
La Rambla is a nice hangout spot and the Mercat was a cool open air market that we visited. We walked up and down La Rambla until we reached the waterfront. It rained this whole time but I had a blast. After a lot of walking, we decided to try and find Gimlet, a mojito bar on the other side of town. We completely overestimated how far away it was; we stopped at a restaurant along the way and even though we were three doors down from it we didn't go in. Barcelona is an absolutely amazing city, I can't wait until tomorrow to experience more!
