Hola!

I finally made it to Spain! Yay! We were only in Athens for 1 day, but I was ready to leave. Santorini was way cooler, people were nicer, food was better and cheaper, and there was a beach just a few steps away. I mean... the Acropolis, yes it was pretty amazing.... but I was ready to move on. We took a flight to Barcelona and found out hostel quite easily. It is in a great location! We are right off of Las Ramblas which seems to be a very fun street. Most importantly, I have already spotted my first ZARA. I am so glad I waited until Barcelona to buy a cute little dress. Hopefully, ZARA will not disappoint. My friend from Belmont, Mary Connell, is meeting us tonight so I am so excited!! She is spending 4 nights with us before she goes back to London, and we go.... well we aren´t sure yet. Maybe Madrid, maybe Valencia, maybe..... ahhh we will see! Probs Madrid. We havn´t done too much today except for check in and get cleaned up. We have a shower in our rom which is nice! I forgot how much I take my very own shower at home for granted! I did find time to get a cappucino today though :) It was tasty just as Ash Love had said. Not quite sure what we are going to do tonight. Maybe go get some Sangria and Tapas?

Anyways, forgot to tell you all that Christy and I got to ride first class on the way from Athens to Santorini. Maybe the shortest flight I have ever been on but hey! Not sure how it happened, but it did! Aegean Airlines is a great airline I must say. On our 2 hour flight to Spain, they served us a full breakfast and came around multiple times offering us beverages. I am impressed Aegean!

Moving on..... I am counting down the days until I get to see my friends and family. It has been 6 1/2 weeks which is a long time for me! All of my family is going to be gone when I get back, but I will be meeting them in Knoxville the following day for my Uncles wedding. I am so excited to get to see parents, sister, grandprents, cousins, and friends. Well Ill blog again sooN! Miss yall!!!
