Barcelona!

Today has been an exciting but exhausting day in Barcelona! The only sleep we got was a few hours on the plane (not counting the sleep Carolyn is currently getting... ), but we knew we had to push through the day and make the most of it! We arrived with all of our luggage, made it to our hostel, went on a "free" walking tour and explored today.

To share a piece of our trip each day quickly I will be sharing our Pows and Wows, which was a way that we debriefed at Montreat, the youth conference we attended in high school. So here is a quick day 1 synopsis:

Pows:
  • Thinking our connecting flight to Barcelona had been canceled (thankfully only moved to a domestic gate)
  • Jet Lag


Wows:
  • Our walking tour through the old part Medieval Barcelona and and the fun we had hanging out with new friends primarily from Australia and the UK.

  • The private balcony of our hostel room

  • Buying cool new wallets made of recycled material
  • Experiencing a protest in front of a government building and a pick pocketer caught at the market
  • Sangria and Mojitos

A few more pictures for fun! More tomorrow!

And I couldn't forget a contest update:
Sisters: 3
Twins: 0
Other: 0
