Day 1: March 8

Today we arrived at the airport promptly at 3:30. I arrived at not so promptly 3:30, because I finished packing at 2:30. We went through security to our flight to London. We flew from Boston to London to Barcelona.

On our flight to Barcelona, we flew over the Pyrenees mountains. We could see them out of the window. The weather was very clear so the view was beautiful. Arriving at 9 am Barcelona time, it still felt like 3 am to us. Everyone was exhausted but happy to be in Spain. All the Spanish students were there to greet us. My exchange student, Carla, was there with her parents and brother to take me home. I am beyond excited for this trip, but I am also a little nervous. I hope that I can truly communicate in Spanish. I am looking forward to seeing the Picasso museum and the Catedral de la Sagrada Familia. I cannot wait to see what this trip has in store for us. I want to try new things, new foods, and throw myself into this new experience. ¡Adiós Boston, Hola Barcelona!
