Postcard from Spain - Ella E.

Dear Lenny,
here is a postcard of my February vacation. I have learned many wonderful things about the culture of Spain

I went to the city of Barcelona, and my family and I spent time with some of my cousins, aunts, and uncles who were also staying there. The food was magnificent, mostly being tapas, and high quality organic meats. The food in Europe seem to be more advanced, and healthy in terms of non-gmo and organic food. It was all very fresh, and I also noticed that they are more layed back than in the states. I LOVED this experience, and understood the atmosphere in Barcelona. I will definitely go back, and will suggest it to other people. I picked up some of the language there, and now know some words and phrases in Spanish. The baked goods were phenomenal, including churros with chocolate, different fillings, and plain. The hot chocolate was pure melted chocolate, and the streets of Barcelona were all filled with people providing different talents to the public. There was so many great aspects of Barcelona, and I 
Loved how different it was from the U.S. The culture there is interesting, and my vacation was an experience I will never forget! We went to fresh markets each day, (there was no grocery stores) and got fresh coconut juices. (They had other kinds too, but that was my favorite!) here are a few of the MANY pictures I took on the trip. I have a passion for traveling, and think that even going through airports is a learning experience. There is so much to take in and absorb in life.
