This weekend has been truly fantastic! It's Monday now and I'm absolutely shattered but it was all totally worth it. I don't work on Mondays so today is most definitely going to be a lazy day. I have finally managed to sort out a lot of stuff too so life is good all round.
I now have a bank account, social security number and a residence permit so I can now be paid- yippee! Friday was a half day for me so in the afternoon, my mentor Maria took me to a view point to see Vic from above- it was breathtaking, I wish I had my camera! Afterwards, I met up with the other Maria and we went on an exciting trip to Carrefour where I found Heinz Baked Beans!! Once I'd cooked my first awesome meal in Spain (bolognese) and Skyped home, Jade and I went on the hunt for some bars etc. We were a little bit successful but nonetheless we had some good cocktails and a great night.
Saturday was Barcelona day! I was very excited for this as I'd never been and it was set to be an awesome day. And it was. We had a McDonalds for lunch (not very cultural), but we wanted to treat ourselves to something familiar as we'd had a hectic week. We walked down La Rambla, went to the Port and the commercial centre, walked along the beach and then headed to another shopping centre to go to Primark. I know it wasn't a very productive day but it was really enjoyable and we'll definitely be going back another day!
Sunday was an early start but for good reason. My mentor was taking me and Jade to the beach on Costa Brava. It was awesome. The place was incredible and I had so much fun. The views were super and the sea was very refreshing and crystal clear. The day was just perfect and it has definitely gone down in one of my best Sundays to date. In the evening, we met up at The Nog Inn to watch Barca play Madrid. That was very exciting and we met up with Priya to discuss next weekends antics....watch this space!!
