Advice and an update: my family came to visit!

I cannot believe how slammed I have been!

I haven't written sick I was sick in February.

Since then, I've:

*caught another cold
*seen the fountains at Placa Enspanya, and visited Park Guell (AMAZING AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE) and Sagrada Familia
*walked down Las Ramblas more than a few times
*gotten lost in the middle of the night in downtown Barcelona because the more I age, the more directionally challenged I become
*gone dancing at Boulevard Barcelona (free entry and a free drink plus an awesome night with other CAPS ladies)
*received a wonderful visit from my parents who flew all the way from Atlanta to see me
*been working HARD in my Spanish class and at school (lesson prep etc)

Now I am looking forward to Spring Break travels in a few weeks!
Hopefully I will be better about updating the blog.  I mostly write in here so I can remember this part of my life when I am old and forgetful.  Oh wait, I am already forgetful.

*RANDOM INSIDER TIP OF THE WEEK*
Do not tip in Europe!  Or at least in Spain!  It is so incredibly difficult not to because it's ingrained in my brain that I MUST do it, but really it is not expected here.  They will react with utter shock if you do so.  I mean you will make someone's day if you do tip so you can if you want, but it is not required.
