Habia enfermedad y Absenta: There was sickness and absynthe

Woke up this morning feeling really sick again. It's Friday, and we didn't have class, but we decided to visit the remaining studio placas to allow us a free day Monday. SO we all got ready, myself included, and got on the metro toward the Forum. Half-way there I had to get off to avoid throwing up--I know you wanted to hear this, right? Bri and Rob stayed with me until we could get onto the next one. I managed to hold my own until Christi noticed I wasn't feeling well and sent me home in a taxi, where I attempted to speak spanish with the driver and then gave up.

I got back to the apartment and used Aunt Donna's bubble bath stuff to take my first bath in...years?! Then climbed into bed for a few hours and woke up feeling MUCH better.

After the boys got back, they told me we were all going to dinner at a pizza place called Veronica's in the Old City near Christi's Aptmt.

Bob and Tom were ready to go...

Ben and Bri had their game faces on...
Then we headed to Placa Reial to meet the group.
We got a ton of different types of pizza, which were all really good, then headed down the street to a bar Christi knew of. The following is an excerpt from my journal: "Our huge group walking anywhere is like a "DO NOT APPROACH" sign, not to mention walking into the bars here with 12 people is like putting an elephant in the refridgerator."
Absenta was the alcoholic-hallucinogenic drink of the night...so Monica Tom and I had a funny time walking all of our little participants home through the back alleys, Las Ramblas, then along Gran Via! We were safe, no worries--and we have yet to get eggs, or pee thrown at us from windows...I guess we'll save that for a big outing!?! haha.
