The past weekend was filled with activity and excitement. On Saturday we went to the Picasso museum, which was amazing. We weren't allowed to take pictures but I will include an image I found online of my favorite one, Las Meninas.

Then on Saturday morning we went to Poble Espanol, which is a model town with buildings typical of all areas in Spain. It was so amazing and there were many cute shops, but my camera was out of battery so I couldn't talk any pictures. In the afternoon we went to the Maritime Museum of which the highlight was actually a photography exhibit about immigration to Spain and life in impoverished countries. It was very interesting and powerful. Then in the evening some of us went to a bull fight, I thought that it was interesting because of the cultural aspect of the fight. Everything had a meaning and importance. Also, the matador basically dances with the bull, which is very cool. I will include some pictures but BEWARE, some of them are graphic.
Today, we went to a monastery called Montserrat. It was up in a mountain top and it was so beautiful. We waited in line to see a statue of Mary, which was a touching experience when we finally reached her.
