twenty two: Arcadia

 On Friday morning, I walked to the Toledo train station and took the train to Madrid to take the train to Barcelona. The tickets were paid for by my study abroad program, Arcadia. Once I got picked up by my director, we went to the hostel, which was also taken care of by Arcadia. We went to the Arcadia center after dropping our luggage off at the hostel to listen to a lecture about politics and have lunch. After lunch, we went on a tour throughout Barcelona. We had free time after that, which was rainy but still fun.

 Kthnxbai!
