Sept. 7th

Today we stopped by La Boquería before we went to look at the Universidad of Barcelona. La Boquería is  the biggest market in Barcelona. It was AMAZING!! There was so many different colors, and different types of foods. You could really build a relationship with the people that were there if you lived here. I also found out the day that you wouldn't want to visit would be Monday, because Sunday is the day off for the fishermen, so you would not get to experience the entire Boquería affect!

When we got to the Universidad it had a historical part and a more modern part. The historical part was more lecture halls and the more modern was more like Knox with the round tables where it was more discussion based. The Universidad has 92,000 students that go there, so I finally get to see what it’s like to go to a University. It’s pretty intimidating, but there seems to be a lot of interesting people. 

We also went to visit Sagrada Familia, which was even more amazing than I had seen on a postcard. At night we separated into 2 groups and went for dinner/tapas. It was really good, and my group with Ragan went all the way to Born St in the Born Barrio. It was a pretty hidden place with a great atmosphere.
