Bonjourno! Bright and early.
It was 3:30 a.m.
We were leaving the hotel at 3:50 to catch the night bus to get to the train station where the bus was that would take us to the airport.
The night bus was our only choice and we needed to make sure that we got on that bus, because it was our only hope. If we had missed the night bus, we would have missed our flight.
After catching the night bus at 4:15, we arrived at the train station at 5. One more trip and we would be at the airport and on our way. However, the airport bus didn't leave until 6:30, so we were an hour and a half early: better early than late. So we sat in the terminal at the bus station and ate donuts for an hour and a half until it was time to go.
After getting on the bus at 6:30, we got to the airport at about 7, waited in line to check in, and then made it to the gate.
While standing in line to get on board we saw these girls from ISA (my study abroad program) who go to UPF (a different school in Barca) which we knew from when we went on excursions together. They had two friends with them, who we later found out go to UAB (the other university in Barca) and are also in ISA. We stood in line and talked to them and then sat with them on the plane together. Yay for making new friends and talking to old ones, what a small world!
Finally, at 8:30, we were on our flight and Barcelona bound! So tired and so sleepy, I slept the whole place ride there.
Eventually I made it back to the apartment at about 12 and had the rest of the day to myself to gather my thoughts, go grocery shopping, unpack, and relax. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, I opened the windows, and music was playing. Ahh, it was good to be home.
Day 12: Barca Barca Baaaarcaaaa!
