Apparently, my elementary school education of Spanish was a complete waste of time. I remember colors and a completely incorrect way of saying hello.... Although, luckily, most of the people I ran into in Barcelona spoke English! Before I showed up on a completely different continent, I tried to contact all my friends I knew near Europe to try to coordinate traveling! Unfortunately, most were busy or broke, such is the way, BUT I did manage to get a hold of one of my Disney friends, Darcy!! We did the college program at the same time and managed to work about two shifts as character attendants together! So, Darcy and I decided that Barcelona was the place we wanted to go! We managed to meet up in Gatwick the night before our plane left for Spain, which was wonderful because I would've been completely lost and alone once the plane landed in Spain... Instead we were just completely lost! I have no idea how, but through some obscure miming and the occasional Italian/English word, we managed to communicate where we wanted to go, and managed to find the correct train to take us into the city, somehow found our hotel and decided the first order of business should be sangria. Because when in Spain, why not?
Love, Alison
