From Spain

Hola folks,

Yay, school is out for the summer. I ended on a great note, good grades and still alive after finals. I am living in Barcelona for two months, and I must say that I love it ( me gusta muchisimo). I am taking an art and architecture class that deals with contemporary Barcelona. It was very easy to travel abroad through Cal Poly. We have a whole study abroad department headed by Monica (great lady)..... i was able to get a whole list of programs and cities that have architecture classes. She was even able to hook me up to students who traveled abroad in Spain to give me the 411. So anyways, last weekend my program (through CEA), sponsored a trip to Pamplona. Pamplona hoasts the festival running of the bulls. In essence, thousands of people dressed only in red and white crowd the town to watch people run from large mammals. HA! Amazing really, the hundreds of people running from the twenty or so bulls, look terrified the whole time. After the bulls run through the streets they enter a pavilion for a small bull fight. This weekend I will be traveling to Madrid to see some amazing art.

Til´ then - hasta luego
