Day 31: Entering Barcelona

Today we took our last bus ride of the trip, heading from France to Barcelona. The ride was uneventful, we stopped for a bit at a mall and then arrived in the city around 3:30. Everyone got checked into their rooms and then headed out for a walking tour, except for me. I have a friend that lives here and so we made plans to go out and it was super fun! She met me at the hostel and we got some dinner and then headed to the apartment of some of her friends and just hung out for a few hours. Then I took the metro back to the hostel which was fun, I met this old lady and we chatted for a bit in Spanish about the history of Spain and it was super interesting and fun. Then a group of British tourists that were very drunk got on and they were a bit loud, but it was okay because they were only on for one stop. I finally got to my stop and then accidentally turned the wrong way when I exited the metro station. Luckily I noticed early on and iPhones continue to track you even with data and wifi off or I would have been very lost. But I was able to turn myself around and head in the right direction. 
Tomorrow I am getting together with my friend again and we are going to go to some places hat she says are essential to the Barcelona experience so I'm really excited. I feel like I'm going to get a much better feel for Barcelona by letting a person who lives here show me around. 
(Sorry no pictures in this post, it's 2:30am and I'm tired so I'm gonna head to bed!)
