¡Merce!

This past weekend was Merces. Merce is a city-wide festival in which activities abound througout the plazas, parks and beachside. There are fireworks every night, a parade with giant dolls, concerts and people EVERYWHERE! the metros were soo bogged down that they couldn´t leave without people getting off....clearly no one wanted to volunteer to get off, and a lot of people were drunk. Walking was the clear alternative to the humid, greasy metro. There was no school on Monday and
now I´m getting back into the routine this lovely Tuesday. My day would not be complete without a late start! The cat who lives in our house was pawing and meowing at our door periodically through the night...not such a great thing when you want to sleep. Im not particularly feeling this whole homestay situation, but hopefully I will come around. In any case, I have to get to class.

Recomendation of the day: Sitges, a beach 45 minutes out of Barcelona...Gorgeous!
