Back to U.S

After about 3 hours of sleep, i was up at 7am, out of the hotel at 7:30, and on my way to the find the rail station to the airport. I took the subway to the stop I got off at when I first arrived, but had a hella bad time finding the line for the airport. Also what was confusing is that the rail line for the airport goes to other parts of Spain!!! Why didn't I anticipate this?!!! Luckily a nice family, or should i say father, from Ohio were also waiting for the same train. My flight boarded at 9:30 and i think I was cutting it a bit close. After a crowded train ride I finally got to the airport. It's a pretty nice airport.



Also the day that I left, apparently tour de France was going to be passing through Montjuic, which they had set up for the night we went there.

The first flight was to Amsterdam, which by the way, is beautiful from the sky. I'd really like to visit soon! We also flew over France, but it was pretty cloudy. It was raining when we arrived. Amsterdam's airport is really nice also, and reminds me of Narita in Japan.










There was absolutely no wait time, and I soon departed back to Dulles. I must admit that my stomach and the dutch cheese in my breakfast on the plane were not agreeing! there was loud arguing (in forms of growling to human ears) that i'm sure contributed to the nausea I felt the entire second flight! This time it was a younger girl from Iran sitting next to me, who slept most of the time and wake up only to reapply her makeup. It was smooth sailing until we were closer to Dulles, when there was a tremendous amount of turbulance and the nausea intensified. I was practically hugging the gag-bag just waiting for the plane food to, uhm, return. The last 15mins were painful, and people Dulles is such a lame airport to fly back into. There are 3 levels of security and it's crowded!!!


Anyway I'm back, I learned alot about myself and what is important to me on this trip. I can't wait until the next one, and i hope to return to Barcelona in the near future!
