Since I'm going abroad, all of you in the US aren't going to have your normal, healthy dose of "Haley stories". This blog is here to help.

Oh hey there, Spain!

After about 14 hrs of traveling and airports, I am finally in Barcelona! They put us in this super swanky hotel room for the night, which is really nice. They keep telling us not to sleep and I'm too nonfunctional to be able to socialize normally, so instead I'm going to use the blog as a way to keep myself awake until the program starts. The jetlag is crazy but the city is so gorgeous and everything is so...European. Apparently, European hotel showers don't have shower curtains? The more you know.

So this blog is basically just a way for me to journal everything that I'm doing in Spain, and so that you all can see what I'm up to. I'll try an update it periodically. I miss everyone from Nashville and Houston sooo much, but I'm also still getting over the fact that I AM IN SPAIN. 

Will have to post pictures later. The wifis here is awful. But rest assured, I did take a picture of my first ever purchase with Euros: coffee. What else?

    I can't believe you're actually there! Have a super-blast and write often to tell us about it!

    A note on shower curtains - there are a lot of strange things about Europe that people forget to tell you. Like some spanish showers don't have shower curtains. Or you can't buy ankle socks in Germany. Or Spaniards don't have a tooth fairy. They have a tooth mouse. O.o Be prepared (a la Scar) for crazy awesome culture shock! <3

    Otra cosa, debe ser el titulo Comer, jugar, amar? O quizás, Come, Jugue, Ama?

    Siempre Pensaba que "Eat, Pray, Love" was a command.

    Dearest Nomzelulah,

    Because of our bond over food I feel that you should at least blog about Spain's food every day....

    Sincerely,
    Your Nomz
