First day of classes

After taking a few days to acclimatize to Barcelona life, we started our classes today. The morning went off without a hitch and for our afternoon 'electives' we headed up to enjoy the beautiful views of Parque Guell (Gaudi's park)- a perfect spot to be in the evening light. For dinner, the students paired off in to their cooking groups and made very impressive calamari among other dishes. We are all looking forward to settling in to the first week of classes and more exciting excursions.
