Day 38- Barcelona

Today we woke up and went on a Panoramic tour of the city. We hopped on the bus and were off. It was really cool to see the different parts of the city. Our first stop was Park Guell. It was a park that was quite cool. It was designed by Gauti so it was full of wave designs and mosaics. The little town was full of color and life. I really liked it. We got some great pictures of mosaics and other building and sculptures. Ashley really liked it and we got a great tour of the town. The top level was made of sand because when it rained the rain would fall through the sand and they would catch the water in a tank. It was really neat. After we finished up in the Park we went back to the bus and headed to another part of town. At this point we were really tired but the scenery around the city was amazing. Our next stop was when we were by the port and at the highest point in the city. The view was really neat and Ashley and I were able to take some really neat shots. We ended the tour close to Las Ramblas and then it was free time for the end of the day. Ashley and I just walked around and did souvenir shopping and grabbed some tapas for lunch. The problem was that we were not able to pick our tapas at this place so we got some very weird ones. The price was right but still very weird. So we finished up lunch and continued to walk around the shops and buy little gifts. We did not stay out too long because we had our farewell dinner with the group that night at 8pm. We got back to the hotel and got dressed up for our farewell dinner for the group. We left the hotel about 7:15 so we could go outside and wait for the bus. When we got to the stop the bus was not there. So what did everyone do to pass the time? They took prom photos. All the girls lined up and took pictures then all the guys lined up and took pictures. After about an hour or so of pictures everyone was done with pictures but still no bus. I go talk to Jason and the first bus company thought that it was tomorrow not today so he called a second one and that was going to be about 45min until they come. So we continue to kill time and we see a huge bus pull up but nope was not for us. Now it is 9:30 and our dinner was for 8. Then we see another bus pull up and the bus was suppose to fit 50 people but it only had 24 seats... The bus company sent us the wrong bus. After talking to the bus company we decide to just pack as many people as we could in and than take cabs over to the restaurant for the rest of the people. We had to close the curtain on the bus to hide everyone. I was so cramped in bus over that I thought I was going to die. After the crazy bus ride we had an amazing going away dinner. We had a 3 course meal and it was very fun but sad as well because we knew that our trip was coming to an end. We had unlimited wine and the food was quite tasty as well. We had a nice discussion and we all decided that we would go out after dinner but it wasn't 12:30 am until we got to the hotel. Ashley decided to chicken out and not go out but Jenny myself and a couple of other people decided to go to this bar called the Dow Jones. The inside of the bar was just like a stock market and the whole bar was so cool. The prices of the drinks went up and down based off what people were buying and every hour the stock market crashes and all the drink prices go down. After that we were going to to a Disco but nobody wanted to pay the cover charge so we just went back to the hotel and got some sleep for a couple of hours before breakfast the next morning.
