Afterwards, we walked around looking for food, split up the group to be less conspicuous (people here do'nt walk in big groups...at all), and my group wandered upon one of the many school cafeterias inside of the chemistry building. We got a pretty decent meal for about 5 euro.
We still had about 2 hours until we had to be at the architecture building for class, so we walked over to the old palace (Palau Pedralbes) which is now an art museum...I think ceramic art, to be more specific. After walking around a bit and taking pictures, we realized that this was right on schedule...time for siesta! So we all took a nap on the grass or sat and watched some kids playing cops and robbers (the world really isn't so big afterall)!
After our siesta, we walked up Avinguda Diagonal to the architecture building where they have the same number of arch students as the entire Catholic U of A undergrad student body! We got a snack in their cafeteria. They have machines where you type in what you want, pay the machine, then get a ticket to take to the counter to pick up your food. I didn't find it very affective seeing as how the machines didn't forward the order to the people working the counter or anything, but I also wasn't there at a super-busy time...I guess this will become some sort of experiment...
We met our Professor, Miguel Vidal, and went to a classroom for our history class. The desks are all just long tables placed side by side. The chairs are stools with big round seats and no backs. The lecture was in Spanish, so Felipe acted as translator. It was really neat, almost a game, for me to listen and try to understand the professor and then to find out if I was right when Felipe explained it in english. I did a pretty good job. There were only a few words I didn't know! :)
Finally we took a tour of the school, got an introduction to the library, the computer labs, the vending machines, and the lecture/concert halls (in the architecture building?! [they have their own chorus!])...By that point we were all pretty tired.
Our last stop was the model-shop which is actually about the same size as the one from school...except with hardly any tools and theirs has a little materials shop, which is nice. Professor Vidal pointed us toward the metro, and day 2 of classes was officially over!
