Hey Guys!
Thought this would be a good spot to tell you about this past weekend. Natalie and I went to Barcelona with two of our other friends from GW to visit Sean, a former LLC member. The weekend was awesome. Barcelona is a beautiful city with a rich cultural history. Sean (which I'm sure Val could expand upon) told us all about the Catalan separatist movement and it's relationship with Madrid and the rest of Spain. I've been to Barcleona before, but it still struck me as odd that they speak a language other than Spanish. Here are some pictures from our weekend. We miss you all!!!


Sangrada Familia: Translated as "Sacred Family," Antonio Gaudi designed this cathedral. They started building it in the early 20th century and it still isn't finished today because its construction relies soley on donations.
Park Guell: My favoite thing in Barcleona (Val can tell you)! Gaudi also designed this and it's all composed of mosaics.

Placa Espanya: At the top is a museum of Catalan history, but it has an awesome view of the city.
And at night has a hydro/light show.
