June 1st

Today was a gorgeous day in Barcelona! I love being able to walk by La Sagrada Familia every day on my way to class! I woke up early in order to go get school supplies, and made my way to the metro with a couple of people in my class. The class is very interesting, and the professor somehow relates everything back to soccer. Whether it is the spanish civil war or Francisco Franco's regime, everything gets related to soccer. After class, a couple of people went with me to Las Ramblas, a very touristy but cool part of the city. Right by Las Ramblas there are people camping out and living in a square because they are protesting the Spanish government.

Here is the Sagrada Familia. Pictures don't do justice to how amazing this building is, and I get to walk by it every day.


Here are pictures of protestors in the square.
People are literally living there, and this is in the middle of a very busy and famous square in Barcelona.


Here are a couple of signs that the protestors have put up around the square:
I don't know what this sign says because I think it is in Catalan or its Spanish slang.


This sign says "Barcelona, brutal police zone" this is also Catalan but it translates very easily.
