Barcelona

A plus about living in Europe is how extremely close the countries are together.  Coming from America, traveling to other countries and getting a stamp in the passport is quite a big deal.  I am learning that in Europe, traveling from country to country is just like going from state to state.  

My Spanish 1 class had been asking for months if we could take a trip to Spain sometime this year.  After a five minute thought, I easily agreed to take a class field trip to Barcelona, Spain.  It was such a great trip to share with students and get to know them more.  We were able to see some pretty cool sights, eat delicious Spanish food and even have a worship time on the beach that over looked the Mediterranean Sea.  The Lord was quite near and answered many prayers (more on that later).  Check out some pictures below!
