It’s nice seeing familiar faces far from home. My friends Ryan and Ray (from Berkeley) were traveling around France and Spain for their honeymoon! I was able to meet up with them in Barcelona one night for dinner. It was great to catch up and show them around my neighborhood a little. Also, Joan, my roommate in Berkeley from January-August, is from Barcelona. He came back to Barcelona in August and is about to move to Switzerland to start his PhD. Joan and Ana (who I also initially met in Berkeley) came over the other night for a dinner party. It was kind of strange seeing those familiar faces in a different setting. While in Berkeley we generally spoke in English, (I meant to practice Spanish more, but was usually lazy about it) here the entire conversation was in Spanish. Well, Joan is moving to Switzerland this weekend and Ana is moving to Australia later this month, so soon I won’t have any Berkeley connections left in Barcelona. However, there are plenty of new connections to be made!
