Hola guys, this is just a general catch-up post to let you know what I've been up to.

I've fed the animals...

POLLITOS!!!


I've been interviewed by a Spanish News Station...(hope the link works!)



I've been to a Three Kings Day parade...



I've started a new project...

And in five days, I'll be in Ireland!!!

Christmas and the Animals of Mas de Madelena!

Guess what…I wasn’t alone for Christmas! The (amazing) family I’m staying with/wwoofing for went to Castellon and Valencia to visit family, but their neighbors came over and we three had a wonderful meal!



Christmas morning I went out and fed the animals. Get ready to meet the nicest animals ever!

Barcelona Day 5 aka My Birthday

So, I turned 21 today. Must say, most useless turning of 21 ever since I have been able to legally drink and purchase alcohol since I arrived in Europe on August. 31…nearly four months ago…

Whoa.

The people that work at the hostel have been amazing! I watched The Pianist with them last night and mentioned that it was my birthday – and all day they’ve been calling me “birthday girl” and wishing me Happy Birthday. Seriously, every time they see me. It’s great.

I returned to Parc Guell today. Brandon (the same who led the trip to Montserrat) led a Gaudi tour today. I 
had someone to take pictures of me!

Me, at the highest point in Parc Guell, Barcelona behind me.

We then saw two other Gaudi creations:


Casa Batllo
Then I went to Montjuic!

It had awesome views of Barcelona and the sea.





I also got to see the sunset from here!



Then I returned to the hostel, made some pasta, and packed for the farm…pretty good birthday.

Barcelona Day 3

This was a chill day. I went to Sagrada Familia (but not inside L) and Parc Guell, both by Antoni Gaudi.

Here’s a video I did at the park in front of Sagrada Familia!




And here are pictures!

New Year's Roman Style

Well, if this isn't a fun way to ring in the New Year....

(Btw, I've taken photos from that bridge! :) )
