Today was my birthday, and I don't know a better place to turn 24 than in Barcelona! It was so precious every time my boys wished me a happy birthday. They constantly were coming up to me and saying, "Miss Brit-ta-nee, it's you birthday!" Haha, it was just the cutest!
For lunch, eight of us got lunch at a local restaurant named Burritos. And if you can guess it, they sold burritos ha! Even though I adore the food in Spain, it was nice to change it up a bit and get some (yummy!) Mexican food! We all loved it and I definitely recommend it for future student teachers. :)
After school, a few of us went out, walked around Plaça Catalunya to admire the newly lit Christmas lights, and watched the new Hunger Game film, Catching Fire (which was amazing!!). All in all, I had a fantastic birthday. It was a really great way to start my 24th year!!

My host family also made my birthday extra special. Not only did they all remember, but they also gave me the perfect gift! Although they appear to be just very adorable ornaments, these little trinkets are much more than that! As Cristina put it, the ornaments will serve as a way to "always remember them by." I just loved when she said this because it's something my own mother would say! This gift and their kindness on my birthday was just another example of how perfect my host family is for me! :) |
