Te Quiero, Barcelona

So, I've been in Barcelona a week now and this is my first post. I am so busy here between running around the city, trying to find an apartment and doing all my schoolwork. Today I actually got to be a tourist though and saw La Pedrera, La Sagrada Familia, and Guell Park all by architect Antoní Gaudí. He used normal objects from nature to influence his architecture. The guy had to be a little trippy though, coming up with all the crazy stuff he did. After visiting Gaudi´s designs, we continued on to see more of the modern art in Barcelona. We also visted the Fundació de Miró. I love Joan Miró. Primary colors and simple drawings. Or are they?

Here's a photo of someone I don't know. Ha, I know. It was just so perfect that I couldn't resist taking it.

Also, I haven't been eating all that much for lunch these days. Right now I'm staying in a dorm and they don't serve us lunch. I end up pilfering the bread served at breakfast and, if I'm lucky, a piece of fruit for lunch. It's very expensive here. Is it bad that I'd rather save money on food so I can by a metro ticket to the beach after class?
