Spanish Photo Shoot

My friends Alana and Claire decided we had to do a pseudo photo shoot in Spain-(cause we're girls). The one I was writing about in my last post. I wanted to show some pics from it. Our amazingly talented Adam was the photographer. It was a ton of fun and Claire (who's a model) did our fierce makeup. :)

MUST DOs: photo shoot with your friends in any city you travel to. It will be a fun/memorable experience! <3

BARCELONA, Espana O Spain



(Alana and I in Barcelona)

Barcelona felt like home. The weather was nice and humid-the polar opposite of Amsterdam. Our first night a group of us explored the Barcelona near our hotel. We wound up at this really cute restaurant but smoking was rampant so Alana and I decided to go to another restaurant. I wanted to use my spanish so bad but they speak Cataloynian anyways in Barcelona and when I tried the adorable Spanish man saved me the trouble and spoke to us in English haha. We ended up at a Chinese restaurant :). AND it was delicious. We split a huge pitcher of Sangria ( I will miss this aspect of Europe greatly until I am 21 in the US) which was absolutely deliciously divine. We had a good meal and were ready for the next day which was jammed packed. We toured Barcelona by bus and stopped at the Gaudi Gardens (where Gaudi resided) which were=magic, we all had a lot of fun taking great pics and just soaking all of his art in. Then we headed to his famed cathedral which has been under construction for forever and I still don't know its completion date.
