Day 33 (4/23/11)

Ahhhh, our first day off! After a week of some intense walking, most of us decided to take the day off. However, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t productive! After I woke up and finished the last of my bread for toast and the last of my yogurt, I decided it was time to get some groceries. Anyway, after shopping I came back and went through some pictures and procrastinated my readings by watching Modern Family. After a little while we decided as a group to head out to the restaurant that we found during the week.
Before I get to that, I have some exciting news! Next weekend is our best opportunity to travel, since studio won't be in full swing yet and the tourists haven’t swamped everywhere yet. So four of us decided that Barcelona would be a great location! We booked our plane tickets and our hostel for two nights (we are leaving here on Friday and coming back Sunday night) for 210 euro! I am so excited, and we have started our itinerary now, so if you guys (not sure if anyone besides Grama has been) have suggestions, please let me know!!! We are also starting to figure out weekends after, and some trips we are looking at now are Turin/Milan for a few days (round trip flight between the two: 16 euro!) as well as the Amalfi Coast/Pompeii later.
So at eight we all trekked up there, only to be met with disappointment. The good thing was that the place was swamped, but the bad news was that the prices had risen 6 euro since we saw them last, and the place was swamped. So we ended up just walking back and grabbing some pizza. When we got back we all ate and goofed around for a while before deciding to play cards. We played Kemps, President, and BS, and it is a good thing that our neighbors were gone for the night, because it was a little loud. After a few hours we went off to bed thankful for the relaxing day.
PS-the pictures here are just some random ones of the buildings in our neighborhood, I figured the blog needed some spicing up after my lazy day :D
