Fashion and Family…Hitting the Runway
I began last week doing something that I had never done before, nor had ever expected to do. I’ll admit it: I attended a catwalk. I went at the invitation of my roommate, who interns at desigual, along with the 4 other girls here with intrax. The show was surprisingly tolerable, even enjoyable, and definitely a unique experience. I met a lot of interesting people (and a lot of really good-looking people), and enjoyed a glass or two of free champagne.
On Wednesday I received some surprise guests (3 friends of my roommate). She didn’t even realize that they were coming on that day until they called from the train station. I was at first uncertain about sharing my apartment with 3 more people, until about an hour after their arrival I noticed the beautiful smell of home-cooking coming from my kitchen, which I use mainly for making toast and drinking out of the sink. The meal they made for us was delicious, so I didn’t have any complaints about their presence. Also, having guests in town was encouragement enough to get us out and about during the week; we showed them a few of our favorite bars over the few nights they stayed with us.
On Friday morning I had more visitors. My family arrived in town so I showed them around all weekend, and in return I ate very well. I’ve been living on toast and cream cheese since that U2 concert (okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration), so I was glad to get the chance to check out some more well-known and expensive restaurants in Barcelona. Now, it’s back to the work week, but coming up this weekend we all have plans to visit Madrid, and I just booked a flight for Rome next weekend. I’ll keep you posted!
Expect pictures soon- I am, for the second time, experiencing laptop issues, so I am getting this all done when I get the chance at work.
