Campus/Market/Room!

Yesterday was our first day on campus -- it's pretty clean and simple. It kind of lacks the charm of the old side of Barcelona (fairly new school), but all the buildings are in a grid pattern, so it's easy to find your way around. They had an awesome GT welcome waiting -- complete with chocolate covered pastries.




Molly and I got bold and ordered something from one of the campus cafes . . . without knowing really what it was. We just said, "We'll take a number three . . . " And this is what we got. Strip of beef something or another, pureed potato and mince meat croquettes, bread with tomato puree, and fries. If you can find nutritional value in there, let me know.

After campus was the market! Things are SO cheap here -- we're spoiled! And yes, that is a .47 cent 12-pack of Amstel. Yes. 47 euro cents for a 12 pack. That's approximately .70 cents in America. And yes, those are also roasted pig legs sticking out of a crate for purchase. Some random stuff . . . We stuck to the basics . . . such as toilet paper and dish soap . . .




HOME AWAY FROM HOME!
Added a personal touch or two . . .



Love from Barca. :)

    That's the way to do the food, order the most interesting thing that you can't pronounce in your head.
