Barcelona Bound!

     Let's rewind to Friday morning. I slept in and ate some breakfast. I then entertained myself until we ate lunch. At the moment I can't even remember what we had. Right after lunch I asked Merche if I could bake. She said yes and I started making my brownies with the ingredients my mom sent me. I put them in the oven and then quickly got ready to meet Becca and her sister. Right before heading out the door I took the brownies out and then let them cool. I met Becca and Sam in the Plaza del Castillo and we began to take tons of pictures of all of the lights in the city. Flat Stanley stole the spotlight. We did some shopping in El Corte Ingles. I bought a present for my Secret Santa and the ingredients to make Buckeyes. NO ONE know what they are. I mean I know that Ohio is the buckeye state and everything, but they are just so absolutely delicious that I thought word would have spread by now. I mean the exchangers in Wisconsin have never even heard of them. It's just not fair. Everyone deserves to eat buckeyes. I will be making tons of them this holiday season for the price of a small fortune. Peanut Butter costs about $6 US dollars per jar here. It will be worth it though. These are too amazing to pass up.
     I returned home around 8 and cut into the brownies. Mmmm. How I missed them. Oh my gosh. Amazing. I put some on a tray and covered them with foil. I then got ready to meet my Spanish friends. I met them, brownie tray in hand, at the school around 9. There were about 7 of us there and we caught the bus to Sara's house. Once at Sara's we all dressed up ridiculously. I really am not sure why, but it was fun. My attempt was Minnie Mouse at Christmastime. We played games, ate pizza and brownies, talked, played this sort of dare game, and had fun. I had a lot of fun. I fell asleep on the couch first. Speaking and listening in Spanish all night is exhausting. Haha. I woke up in the middle of the night (morning?) and they had covered me with a blanket! So sweet! Then this morning we ate breakfast together and cleaned up Sara's living room. It was a little crazy.

     I didn't do much today. I relaxed and caught up with Ohio. I spent most of the night packing and now I am so exhausted and ready to watch some videos and fall asleep. Tomorrow I leave for Barcelona!!!!!! I am so excited!!! My bus leaves in the morning and I will return early Wednesday morning. I couldn't be more excited! I will have plenty of time on Wednesday to write an amazing Barca Blog filled with pictures and lots of details. I was skyping with Livy tonight and one of the last things she said to me was, "Alex, go crazy in Barcelona." Hahaha. This is why we're sisters. I love her. Anyways, I'm off to bed. Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone! Besos!
