Tuesday in the City

I had eggs for breakfast yesterday morning!! It was a miracle, I didn't have to eat as much of the weird-tasting pepperoni sandwich meat/cheese. After, I went to class, learned numbers and alphabet (a refresher for me) and played bingo. I learned from the teacher that there are 1euro stores (like a dollar store!) in La Raval, so after class I found Megan and we decided to skip the scavenger hunt again and go find these stores. Megan and Max had been down to the La Boqueria before I found them, and they got me a delicious muffin, one that Megan and I had found on Monday evening. These muffins are 85 cents and they are mouthwatering! We did find some cheap stores, but no euro stores. We also saw some street actors dressed as statues and as the alien from Alien vs Predator and as edward scissorhands. I'm going to have to sneak some pictures of them next time. Apparently they get really mad if you take pictures without tipping them. After walking down las Ramblas, we went back to the room and napped before dinner. Dinner was not very good overall last night, but we did get little fried potatoes that tasted good. The pasta was a bit off. Later in the evening all the girls on our hall went out to Shoku's for Elana's birthday. It was ok and we danced some, but overall the place was a bunch of IES students there for the promotion (free admittance). They did not even play much spanish music. However, the place was right on the waterfront and the beach at night was beautiful. I cannot wait for the weather to warm up so I can visit the beach and swim!
