fat tire

So far, I'm thoroughly enjoying the things that I'm learning in my economics class about the European Union and the makeup.. it's really interesting to see the way that our Spanish teacher perceives certain "problems" with the European Union, as opposed to our Estonian/US A&M professor.

Today we did a Fat Tire Bike Tour around the city which is quite possibly my new favorite way to see a city. We met in the old part of town at 4:00 this afternoon, and rode around getting a tour and stopping on the beach for sangria until we finished at 8:00. 20 euros well spent..

As an excuse to get to have some fun, our group of friends decided to make everyone have a "birthday" while we're in Barcelona so that we get a chance to celebrate. On our birthday, we get to choose what we do for the day, where to eat, and where to go out that night... tomorrow's MY birthday!! We're starting tomorrow by taking the earliest train (6 a.m.) into the city so that we can go for a run in the city before people take over the city. According to a magazine that we read on our flight to Rome, the best time to see the city is in the early morning before anyone's awake, and you can watch the sun rise over the Mediterranean.

Early to bed, to wake up super early.
