DAY 8

As kickoff for the Badger game was at about midnight our time, the Rose Bowl didn’t end until about 2:30am here! So we woke up at 6am to texts on our phone of a play-by-play of the game. We were so sad that our poor Badgers lost L But it was time to pack up our things, head down to breakfast, and hit the road for Barcelona, Spain. Our tour guide informed us that the longest drives of our trip would be on the way to Spain, and then on the way out of Spain. So we were prepared for a long haul. When we drove into the city, our tour guide drove us around to show us a few popular sites. We took pictures at the top of Montjuic, where the 1992 Olympics were held. Afterwards, we headed to La Sagrada Familia, a church designed by Gaudi, and took some great photos. Once we got to the hotel, we set our bags down and had dinner with our group in the hotel. Apparently Spaniards like to eat a bit later, so we had dinner at 9pm! Afterwards, we enjoyed drinks in the lobby with our new friends in the group. Our hotel was pretty far outside the city, so there weren’t any clubs for us to go to. We did, however, find a tapas bar that was willing to give us some tequila shots! We spent the night getting to know our new friends much better.
