we´re in barcelona!

so on friday, we had auditions and that night found out what show we´re in. i´m in king lear! however, we don´t know what parts we have. there are only three of us girls, so we´re the sisters, and we know that amy is a bad sister, but between me and jaq we can´t figure out who is bad and who is cordelia. either way, i´m absolutely thrilled!

after celebratign the end of audtions and halloween on friday, we promtly boarded a plane! ritu, annie (my roomies), parker, tom and i are currently in barcelona. we leave for berlin on wednesday and will spend a few days there before heading back on saturday. barcelona is amazing. we live in la ribera, right next to the old gothic quarter. i´m getting to practice my spanish and translate for everyone, and it´s lots of fun. i forgot how much i love spanish culture and the people. everyone is so friendly here, and the men arent as creepy as they were in argentina, so it´s a perfect combo! yesterday we went to thepicasso museum, which was incredible. they mostly had his early and more obscure works, which were fascinating to see. it helped me to understand just how brilliant he is. then we saw the barcelona cathedral, which was amazing, and that night we went to a free jazz concert that was part of the barcelona jazz festival. these three guys played jazz for 3 hours straight and it was some of the msot incredible guitar playing i´ve ever heard in my entire life. we had a table right in the middle of the tiny, crowded club, and my clothes still smell like cigarettes, but it was amazing.

illl update when i can,
love, ellen
