We spent most of yesterday picking out flats to see this week. Many people travel on the weekends so it’s hard to get a hold of them. We’ll stay in our hostels until we can get a hold of them. I’ve been sharing a room with 3 guys – one from Taiwan, one from London, and one from New Zealand. Then yesterday two of them moved out and three girls from Belgium moved in. I won’t start looking for a job until at least next week because today is the first day of la Merce Festival de Barcelona – the city’s largest festival of the year! It lasts for about a week and it’s filled with parades, dances, theater, fireworks, food, concerts (you might have heard of Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Des’ree, the Tuesdays, Depeche Mode, or Lou Reed), and easily more people from all over the world then are already filling the streets day and night. Should be wild!
I’m sorry if this letter was a bit long, but I got so excited thinking about all that’s happened in the past 6 days that I guess I got carried away. I hope to hear from you soon. I want to know what’s new in your lives as well. Believe it or not, even with all of these people here, I still feel a little lonely sometimes.
Wish me ¡buena suerte! as I wish the same to you in whatever you’re doing.
Adiós por ahora,
Josh
