a long and very fun 10 days is coming to an end. i am very excited to be home, but i dont want to leave! me familia told me that i could stay for another month so if i dont make it on the plane you will know where i am! the cabanas, the family that i stayed with, are some of the most amazing people ive ever met. every night we became closer friends and even with the very interesting spanish food that was served, every dinner was amazing! swimming with club natacio sabadell has been an amazing experience and being coached by coach albert and coach eloi has been awesome! also swimming with swim mac has been da bomb! i have made many friends from both mac and club natacio and im very sad that we have to leave.
today was a very relaxing and enjoyable day. being our last day, we got to do anything we wanted in barcelona. so, just like yesterday, logan, peter, juan rrrrrico miguel, and i walked around the city with the australian accents. im not very good at it so i was their friend from america. even though we were in spain, we ate lunch at burger king, and we ran into a very nice waitor. he liked us so much that he gave us refills and even called me beautiful! after the exciting lunch, we walked around the city and ran into a very nice lady working at the ice cream stand. throughout the week, logan and juan miguel fell in love with a popsickle called a twister. so we went to the stand to buy one. but this stand didnt have them. this caused us to begin a very nice conversation to the girl in the stand. after a few minutes of talking it seemed that this girl looked like she liked us (probably because of the aussie accents). it became a little creepy and we left the stand, but were happy with the ice cream and our new friend. but the best thing that happened today was that i found my new girlfriends (the turbo girls from the swim meet) on facebook! so now i can keep in touch with them even though im across the ocean!

see everyone in jville tomorrow night!
¡adiòs!
