Friday morning at 5:30 me and six of my friends set off for a great three full day weekend in Barcelona. This was my first weekend trip outside of Italy! 
First hostel expeirence. I chose the hostel Kabul for all of my friends (alot of pressure). It turned out that the hostel was absolutely amazing, free breakfast lunch and dinner (even though not the best-- we still went out). Pool table disco lights, happy hour 2 beers for 1 euro. Great people from all over! There were ten people in our room but that goodness my group was dominant by having the party of 7. I loved this hostel experience the people I met and the stories I heard and told, I just felt like i was getting older. (weird) I loved the hostel more then the residence back in Rome, we never wanted to leave.
Here are some of the food stands at the outdoor market! So fresh once again! 
Fruit! 
Pastries
Cathedral of Barcelona can be spotted through the alley ways in the street! 
So beautiful! The cathedral of Barcelona

First night from the hostel we went on a bar crawl, which took us to the three most famous bars in Barcelona. In the shot bar called chipinos, there were over 600 types of shots. It was insane some the of the shots which I took included lighting the bar on fire, roasting a marshmallow in the fiery vodka, oranges and sugar on fire.. ect.. 
The Catalonian festival in the streets, basically just unorganized insanity. Children and adults all dressed up in big costumes, playing instruments.
THE PICASSO MUSEUM!! (shout out to Uncle Tony)
below are my favorite three painting in this museum. It was hard to get pictures because they were not allowed. 
tiny strokes of lines makes one big fresco
In the Park, where kids played soccer against older boys and there was a fountin
temple of Sangrada Familia by the artist Gaudy, never finished but absolutely astounding from the outside!!! It looked like a drip castle from the beach, yet if you looked closely you could see white doves and green trees, and bowls of fruit. The line for tickets took 30 minutes but we finally got in!

Graffiti at its finest 
Barcelona is a gem. Did you have the chocolate and churros? Amazing to see where Picasso began with such perfect realism as a child and then to see where he went from there.
