So, not much new today...
Met with Professor Vidal about the independent study book. I have a feeling that everything is going to change because there are so many different opinions on what the book should be. We'll see soon!
After meeting the group for lunch, Tom Billy and I wandered over to Camp Nou Futbol Stadium where we got as far as the main shop, but the tours cost money, and since I'm hoping to see it by going to a game, I figured I'd save for that, instead. I didn't manage to get a pic of the stadium, but i DID get a shot of a typical (at least as far as I can tell) field here in Barca.
There is a lack of green spaces here, because its such a dense city. I brought my cleats, but everywhere that has grass also seems to have a "no futbol" sign...often even a "no camina" (no walking) to preserve the green that they have. So parks are basically people sitting around (after having either crawled, or broken the rules by walking to their spots)! Tom and I saw some kids playing on a basketball-type court when we were at Parc de la Ciutadella the other day...maybe we can go there one day or something.
This is a typical classroom in the ETSAB building, where we have history class and sit on chairs with round seats and no backs...I think its to keep people from getting too comfortable and falling asleep--it's hard, because of the climate, not the material! If you want to learn more about ETSAB (and/or you speak Catalan) you can check out the website link on the right. I'm going to try to include links to places that we visit in case you want to get more info or whatnot. There are also lots of links on our main blog page, whose link is also on the right.
The rest of the night flew by...emails at studio, then Aldana dinner (where Rob cooked his frozen/chopped up fish), then meeting with Brian about our boards and work on topography.
