later on in the week, aka last thursday, there was a protest on via laietana. which is the street our school is on. So we had to walk through the protest in order to get home and i was so excited to feel like i was a part of the political struggle haha. ok so not really, but it was fun trying to figure out what everyone was yelling about in spanish. all we could figure out was that it had something to do with the police...as always. here are some pictures of the protest. and there was also some sort of box filled with fireworks that would explode every few minutes and make this loud annoying noise and blow smoke throughout the street...so hi tech i know haha.
angry protestors: pauline, pernille, bart (our new roomate) and wouter (who just moved out. very sad..no more little brother around the house)
and the most exciting news is how i went to ireland for the weekend. well not really the whole weekend but whatever. i went to go visit andy since i hadn't seen him in way too long. While he was working during the day, I went around Dublin and did the whole nerdy sightseeing thing by myself. i had never been in a foreign country by myself without a purpose of school or something like that. it was actually pretty fun. i went all around Dublin and saw so many amazing things and I even went to the Guinness Brewery and had a beer while i was on the phone with my mom. Hey, at least it didn't feel like i was a total creep drinking alone, since she was on the phone with me haha. After all my sightseeing, my phone ran out of minutes and i realized that i couldnt put more money in it until i was back in bcn so i was in ireland without a phone... thank god for this skype business because it saved my life. after the phone fiasco, i went to meet up with andy. the show was absolutely incredible. ive never seen so many kids sing along to everything haha. their set was great and i took a ton of pictures with my polaroid, digital and fish eye. Spending the weekend in ireland was one of the best times ive had since i left the US. easily top 3. but here are my pictures of ireland and the show. hopefully i'll be able to post videos soon.
