Well, just like at home, volleyball has served me well in meeting some really cool and helpful people. I found a beach with a bunch of people playing some really great vball and speaking Spanish (duh). I asked if I could play and, as luck would have it, the one guy I chose to speak to was from New York! His name is Bob and he introduced me to his friend Xavi who was also playing and is from Barcelona. This was about two weeks ago and Bob and Xavi have come to be my closest friends here in Spain. They introduced me to this great little local place called la Champaneria where you can get a glass of champagne for 50 pesetas. It’s a very popular place to meet and snack on tapas before a long night out on the town at either our favorite discoteca (Penúltimo) or the best little bar in the area to play pool (Borroq). In fact, I’m off to la Champaneria right after I send this email. Bob might even be able to hook me up with a friend of his who works for a graphic design/web development company here in BCN. I won’t know for another week or so. Until then, I’m playing volleyball indoors twice a week at this gym I found. It’s great – the level of play is high and no one speaks English!
