Antoni Gaudi's undulating, ergonomic benches at Parc Güell
Walking around Barcelona was hard at first, but it is safe to say that we have all developed immunity to the blisters and foot cramps. Therefore, walking around the park climbing all of the stairs was truly a wonderful experience. Although it was great to experience all of the sights, the Spanish culture, and especially the food, it would not be the same experience without the wonderful teachers and friends that have accompanied me on this trip. Spending time with the students on this exchange is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in which I get to see Chad sliding across the dirt in an action camera shot while everyone looks at us as the Americans we are, or Ben partaking in the same eccentric poses while taking a picture, or even a restaurant owner joining in on Reese's and my rhythmic clapping. The best part was watching Griffin yelling to different groups of people the name "Xavi," and always seeing someone turn around in response. All in all, this experience has been amazing, I have learned that in Spain you get little to no hours of sleep, every meal is delicious but consists of so much food that you can't help but hate yourself when finished eating, and that the spanish kids love to call me "Keyaan" instead of "Key-on." However, after this experience I 100-percent see myself moving to Barcelona in College for at least one year. For the few of you who actually read this post, thanks so much for logging on and reading my post. Go Barca!
