I successfully staved off the jet lag through the use of the feature film Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 and by staying out in public until the last possible moment. If I am in public, it would be embarrassing for me to fall asleep. After being awake for 29 hours I finally got to hit the sack. When I awoke, much to my disbelief I was still in Spain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I stopped at a small caf\u00e9 on the way over here and got a great cup of coffee before orientation and lunch. The food in Spain is nothing short of amazing. I have yet to eat something bad. Even the Taco Bell I had last night was of substantially better quality than what is found in the States. The lunch we had with CEA was awesome. It was also a good crash course in the differences in restaurant etiquette over here My favorite thing I have eaten so far is definitely the Cuttlefish Fideua. The Patatas Bravas at this particular restaurant was I was too hungry and focused on eating it that I didn\u2019t get to snap a picture, but I promise it was amazing. Fideau is kind of like Paella but with noodles instead of rice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After lunch, we embarked on a walking tour of the area immediately surrounding it, including the Gothic Quarter and La Rambla. I\u2019m a huge history nerd, so seeing medieval buildings and alleyways was right just my speed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What was not my speed was La Rambla. It is hectic, tourist trapp-y and full of pickpockets. I had to make sure to keep a valiant watch on my things. I don\u2019t want anyone to run off with my water bottle or my wallet. Overall, it was a fun first day that allowed us to get our bearings with the area nearby.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Edit: The last thing I did was buy a disposable camera, so it&#8217;ll be fun to see how these photos turn out. While I was buying the camera, a girl in the camera shop complimented my Home is Where shirt. I don&#8217;t know if she knew the band or just liked the design. So today&#8217;s song is for the girl at the camera shop.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"yes! yes! a thousand times yes!\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LXvap1sWvBQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did it.
