Barcelona, Spain - Home Sweet Home!

For 18 brave students, travels to Barcelona took place between January 12th-16th. Being the last group of travelers to arrive, we were greeted by friendly smiles of friends who had arrived earlier that week. We all scattered to our various places of accomodation, splitting into 4 different households located in different parts of the city. After arriving by taxi to our place we would call home for the next 3 months, we got settled in and prepared for our first class meeting with the entire group.
The next day, we arrived at noon to Plaza Reial to discuss plans for the first week of classes and take a look at our studio space. We were all excited to see those we hadn't yet seen and find out about their adventures so far. Our studio space, aka: The Met Room, is located in the heart of the oldest part of the city, only a few blocks from the coast.
