Abroad Adventures: On the Mend

Hola,

After being sick for almost a week (which totally stinks when you want to go out and explore a new city but all you want to do is sleep), I'm finally on the mend! Finding the Doctor's office in a huge city where I usually get lost when I'm healthy is totally not fun when you have a pounding headache and no voice to communicate with. Instead, I found myself wandering for 45 minutes, which normally would have been kind of fun to explore but in this case, all I wanted to do was get there.

But not to worry, it was only a bad cold and after missing a weekend in Interlaken with my roommates (sadness, but I seriously needed to NOT be in the cold and the snow) I'm finally better! After spending the day yesterday in bed catching up on the Bachelor (<3 you Juan Pablo) and a serious Gossip Girl marathon on Netflix (Blair and Chuck!! Serena and Nate!!), I was able to venture out of the apartment and breathe some fresh air.

The first adventure was brunch in the Gothic Area of Barcelona at a super cute and tiny restaurant called MILK. It was really touristy and there were mostly Americans in there but it was so worth it. I tried their eggs Benedict, which were amazing! It came with bacon underneath and home fries on the side and it was totally worth getting out of bed for. The other two girls who I went with got a burger with bacon and a fried egg on it with home fries, definitely the next thing I need to try when I go there.

After, we decided to walk around for a little bit. Even though I have been here for almost three weeks now, I still have no sense of direction here. I usually don't mind getting lost in the city because you come across some cool and new things. This was the case today. We wandered around and ended up finding some beautiful buildings, the port of Barcelona, a lobster statue and some cool art. I could tell you the general location of where I was (somewhere in Barcelona) but not the exact location. Someday I'll get this city down.
