Backlog: Girona

I'm back, once again, and full of energy after a great nights sleep without any roommates. The trip was a great success with no mishaps and filled with many opportunities to see some wonderful sights. I have one week left before classes start again, so I hope to sort through my many, many pictures! I'm not expecting much in the way of excitement in the next few weeks as I'll be back into a routine with classes, this time knowing the language and how everything works. In the meantime, I'll be backlogging my trip. Enjoy!

My plane flew out of Luebeck, in Northern Germany, so I left early so I could have time to walk the town. Unfortunately the weather was bad and I wasn't used to carrying my pack, so my interest in walking around was quite minimal and I forgot to try the famous marzipan.

I flew into Girona, Spain which is a little over an hour outside of Barcelona by train. My first hostel experience wasn't too bad. I shared a room with two girls from Germany, also on their way towards Barcelona and their company was nice.

We spent most of the morning walking the streets of Girona, which is a lovely town with lots of narrow alleyways. There's a wall that surrounds the city and the houses are built right into it. It certainly made for a nice stopover before arriving in the big city.
