Dia Nacional/Best Day Ever

Ok, so this past Tuesday, as other people have blogged about already, was the National Day of Catalonia a.k.a. Dia Nacional De Catalunya. This day being a holiday and all, we did not have class, even though noone informed us of that at the time. We waited on the professor for an hour! anyways. Wanting to see the festivities a couple of people and I went around noon to the Arc del Triumf area near Parc Ciutadella. There was a lot happening already. Everyone had Catalan flags and were showing their pride by wearing them. Dylan and I both purchased flags and wore them that entire afternoon. We stayed in that area listening to local music and talking until the Big event of the night happened. There was a huge, free, concert that we could not miss. The concert was incredible. Dannielle and I made it to the front row by going with the mosh that was pushing us up front. The front row was the place to be, besides for the thousands of people pushing against your back constantly. My favorite part of the concert was when two of the band members had a duet solo on a gigantic xylophone thing. It was awesome!! After the concert a bunch of us headed down to the waterfront. On our way there we found a park type thing with playground equipment. We played around on it for a while then continued to the Olympic port area. After chilling on the beach for awhile we decided it was time to come back to RESA. The day was very eventful and one of the funnest I have had in Barcelona yet.


The video comes from the park with the playground that we went to. Casey, Kelly, and I revisited it while walking this weekend.
