It's finally starting to warm up in Barcelona. The sunshine and hot weather are nice and make for perfect beach weather!
Last friday, I finally made it out to Montserrat with Heidy. We took a train followed by a cable car up to the top, allowing us to see a 360 view of the scenery along the way. First, we went to the Santa Maria de Monserrat monastery, and got a glimpse of the "Virgin of Montserrat," one of the black Madonnas of Europe.
We explored the center a bit, and then took a very short hike/walk.
It was a good thing we didn't decide to do one of the longer hikes because as soon as we headed back to the cable car station, we felt tiny rain drops on the tops of our heads. As soon as we reached the train station (literally right as we stepped underneath the awning), Montserrat was caught in a storm. We looked up at the mountain where we had boarded the cable car and soon saw a thick dark gray cloud cover everything within view. Then it began to pour, wish accompanying harsh winds. We realized the downfall was not rain, but hail. Then it was hail and rain, then just rain, but with thunder and bright pink lightning.
But after that odd and isolated storm, this past week I've seen nothing but beautiful sunshine in Barcelona! I had my first beach day, which entailed volleyball in the sand and a lot of laying out in the sun. This was to be repeated again, only now I am sufficiently sunburned. :'(
Last night, I saw Kaskade perfrom at Opium Mar, which is situated right behind the beach we were at earlier during the day. I had such a good time. :)
In between classes, the beach, and everything else, we've still been trying to find time to work on our film project. Dave was a great sport and helped us out tremendously by playing the part of a creepy jester-like character. Unfortunately, my Mac freaked out a little bit today, so I may have to take it in...again. If so, hopefully it'll be a quick fix this time!

The wind just wasn't my friend that day...
