Martes.

This morning I had Spanish, so I ate (and told Gloria I had salsa classes tonight so I wouldn't be at the apartment for dinner - she seemed to approve because she began to dance in the kitchen and talk about las Sevillanas again) and walked over to the Eixample campus. It was really sunny and clear today, but still cold. Class was fine...nothing really special about that today. Later I met with my Spanish Contemporary Art class in front of La Pedrera, one of Gaudí's buildings, to see Perejaume's exhibition. I looked up a picture of him and he's a weird looking guy, but I really thought his work was interesting. He draws inspiration from landscapes (specifically topography) and nature, so La Pedrera was the perfect place for his exhibition because it's done in such an outstandingly organic style (art nouveau/modernisme). I couldn't take any pictures in the exhibit otherwise I'd post some. Anyways, I really enjoyed the exhibit, and it was free, so I was a happy camper.

Afterwards my friend and I wandered around the neighborhood because we had some time to kill before our salsa class. We came across Església de les Saleses, which was made by Joan Martorell, who was Gaudí's teacher. It was really beautiful. Later we found a small cafe/restaurant and had bocadillos (sandwiches). I had a bocadillo caliente de tortilla española. It was so good...that's my favorite bocadillo so far. The tortilla is made with egg and potato...it's such a simple thing but it's amazing. Oh, and there was tomato on it too. Mm.

We met the rest of our group at the metro stop and went to our dance class. It was bigger than I thought it'd be and there were locals there too, which was cool. They had all of the girls line up in two lines, then had the guys and extra dance instructors rotate around. Our teacher would tell us when to switch, so we got to dance with everyone. I had a lot of fun and I'm excited for our next three classes.

Alright, well I'm tired. Buenas noches!
