Que pasa?
For the seventh day of our trip, we went to Sitges where there is an amazing beach overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. We spent the majority of the day having lots of fun in the water and we embraced the culture of European beaches. The streets of Sitges were lined with a lot of little authentic Spanish shops, and after we were done at the beach, we had some time to shop. Many of the souvenirs and merchandise that we bought were actually made in Spain and places around the beach.
For dinner, we had options once again for our two courses. The choices for the main course were chicken, fish, or turkey. Everything in the meal was delicious, especially the dessert, which was a sugary waffle with dark chocolate drizzled on top and whipped cream and strawberry sauce on the side. After we enjoyed our dinner, we departed for our volleyball match against Espluges. We played a very competitive match, but sadly, we lost in 5 sets. Overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable day for TCVB.
Out eighth day started off with our fourth and final match against Viladecans. The match was at 11:30 in the morning, and it was our toughest competition yet. The team had two professional players that we got to play against. We actually got to hang out with one of the professional players, Tori, the whole day. We lost to the team in four, but all close, sets.
After our match, we got on a bus and went to the Catalon town of Figueres, where we went to the Salvatore Dali Museum. It was a huge museum, full of paintings, sculptures, and more abstract art. Everything in the museum was extremely interesting and detailed. Once again, we saw more paintings that we learned about in Western Humanities, such as the melting clocks.
When we returned to Barcelona after the museum, we went to dinner at a Spanish/Asian cuisine buffet and they had an extremely huge variety of food to choose from. Many of us tried lots of different foreign foods, such as shark, squid, octopus, cuddle fish, baby eel, sushi, ox tail, blue fish, mussels, and clams. We topped off dinner with a selection of desserts, such as pancakes with dark chocolate drizzled on top and puff pastry filled with ice cream. Everybody ate very well and we left the restaurant with full stomachs!
Adios amigos!
