Spain Journal- Feb 29th- Madrid/Barcelona


Travel Day

Day 6-Traveling from Madrid to Barcelona

I woke up at 6am, believe me not on purpose but because my body woke me up. It was kind of nice, it was quite. Hardly anyone was up, you could hear yourself think and just reflect on the night before and think about the things to come.

I thought about how lucky, some can even say blessed, I was. I was able to be spending this time in Spain, not many people get this chance. Hell we still had 3 days left to see all this wonderful and rich culture. We left for the bus station, taking the metro to get us there. It is always an adventure getting on the metro, especially when you have your luggage to take care of as well. We made it through. The bus that we rode to Barcelona on was very nice. It had a TV in the back of the head rest. It was nicer then the Delta airplane, and trust me that is saying a lot. As we were traveling to Barcelona, we passed the wind energy saving units. I remember seeing them in a photography that a friend took while in New Mexico, but now I can say that I saw them in Spain as well.

We arrived in Barcelona between 5 and 5:30pm. We took the Metro to our hostel. It was a good length walk when you have your luggage to carry with you as well. There was also a little accident. A classmate fell down and hurt herself. We all stepped up to help her and that made me proud of my fellow classmates. Once we got to the hostel, I wasn't feeling too good, but I was hungry. My throat was sore and I was freezing. So I pushed myself to go to dinner, but it wasn't to be. So I went back to the hostel as everyone else went exploring.
