Man this last week has been a blur! Was it really only a week ago that I was still in the UK?? Slightly unbelievable. Here’s what’s been happening:
Thursday, Dec 3
I flew to Barcelona, arrived at my hostel, walked around town, hung out with some ragamuffin musicians and poi performers under the Arc de Triomf, and turned in early.
Friday, Dec 4
Did the grand tour of Barcelona, including Barri Gotic, Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Pl. de Espanya, Les Rambles, and of course, clubbing.
Oh and I met up with a friend, Frank, who also happened to be in Barcelona! We met way back in May in Portland, at a family friend gathering, and both ended up studying abroad in the UK.
Saturday, Dec 5
Traveled to Abella with Frank, it’s a super cute little village with sweet views.
Sunday, Dec 6
Walked around in the mountains with Frank, both of us recovering from colds that we’ve had since Thursday haha. Beautiful river and canyon though!
Monday, Dec 7
Frank leaves, I hang out around the house/eco refugio where I’m staying.
Tuesday, Dec 8
I climb for the first time since arriving in Spain! A very nice German couple staying at the refugio allow me to tag along…quite a good day weather-wise and climbing-wise. 🙂
Wednesday, Dec 9
A fun day of exploring nearby towns! I run errands with Maialen, a girl who lives in a nearby community. We go to Isona, Tremp, etc… and then she shows me the mountain eco community where she lives!

I’m sorry, I really should include pictures, but it’s almost midnight now and I really must sleep! Still battling this cold, too… >.< I keep thinking I’m better and then sore throat/cough comes back…
~Until next week!
