This weekend was (in short) AMAZING! *happy dance*
I can’t remember how much I told you in my last post, so there may be a bit of a review...
Wait! I already talked about Saturday... Okay, SUNday, was a whole lotta fun. I went to church at around 11:30 and got totally turned around and lost in the neighborhood (whoo ho!) and finally found the church at around 12:15... I know, it makes it worse when I tell you I was walking around the same block several times (But better when I say “road construction?!”). Anyways, right when I scrambled into the sanctuary and seated myself, the pastor looked up and said “amen” and the entire congregation proceeded to leave the way I had just entered seconds ago... bummer...
But! I began introducing myself to other goers, and found out that there was a second service (Horray for being horribly late only to find out I’m actually on time!) So, (round two *dingdingding* (Yes, there is a perpetual boxing match in my head... )) I went back in and got settled. About half-way through the service, a few friends from my Spanish class came in, yay! familiar faces.
At the end of that service, everyone kinda stayed in the sanctuary so that we could travel to the BBQ together. During that time, I met a bunch of people I probably would have been to shy to introduce myself to otherwise (shut up!, it happens!) and made some awesome friends.
Oh! at the BBQ, I tried this traditional Cataluñian dish called Calçots. They’re (the spell check is screaming at me right now!) like big chives that you roast over a fire, peel, and then dip into sauce. Very mess... OHHHH SO GOOD! Will I make them when I get back to the states?... You can betchyour buttons, I will!
I also played one-on-one BB ball with this guy who plays on a local team in Barcelona. Here be the pictures of me getting my booty kicked. ...two days later, and I’m still in pain! Haha! It was very fun, and at first I wasn’t considering going back, but I’m very glad that they had this event to plug the newbies into the church. It’s going to ease the “Umm... I don’t know anyone... Let me cling to you, unsuspecting person” feeling quite a bit!
Well! I have to get showered and head off to school! Hope to talk to you all later and that you're doing well! Love you!

That's awesome, Michelle! All this food you keep describing and photographing makes me hungry. I swear I've gained 10 pounds just eating vicariously. Those pictures of you playing ball are really fun! Who took them? Have a great day at school! I love you!
Haha! It's be difficult to gain 10 pounds from Calçots... though I know some people who would be willing to test that theory...
Grace took the B-ball pictures. She's a good friend I met in my classes who also goes to church.
I love you!
Actually, just looking at food can make you gain weight because it can release fat storing hormones. Sucks.
But yeah, looks/sounds awesome!
