Summing up Spain in a nutshell, I swam in the ocean for the first time in my life. Played 2 days of 6v6 short soccer games, as well as a random game of beach soccer with some guys and teammates. I was exposed to lots of English banter and cheers and dress up theme nights. I had a free day so I went to Barcelona with a group and enjoyed that city a lot. (I didn't have a camera but click the links to see what they are) I saw the Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas, Camp Nou, and a huge monument of Christopher Columbus where he set sail to America. I tried a chicken empananda which was yummy and I found that it really isn't hard to get around not knowing Spanish. Just hop on the metro and have a map and you are good to go. I bought a Sangria from the hotel bar while we waited for our bus to come pick us up to take us back to Lincoln and it was quite nice, like a fruity red wine. The trip home was nice because we saw France during the day, so between naps I got to see so much of Spain and France.
It was a great week and the second part of spring break was spent in front of computers working on projects. For Easter I randomly met a young woman from Romania that was a nanny in Lincoln in front of my church on Good Friday. I went up to the cathedral with her and heard a special requiem choir concert with her and I went to Mass with her Easter morning. I made myself a roast dinner and spent the weekend relaxing with my flat all to myself as my first Easter away from home. So that was my spring break.
