This web update is brought to you via an internet cafe in downtown Barcelona as BC students are just finishing a service project this afternoon at a shelter for battered women and children.
Yesterday the group went on a three hour guided tour of Barcelona afternoon and this morning the football team had their first and only practice before the Beavers take on the Fenix Granollers tomorrow evening at 6:30 p.m. Yesterday morning´s practice was cancelled since half of the group had yet to arrive. Our practice today was held at a local rugby field and was upbeat as the players went in full pads with contact was held to a minimum.
Temperatures have been reaching the low 70s during the day and it has rained off and on since our arrival. Barcelona is certainly an amazing city and the people at Global Football are taking good care of our arrangements.
A beautiful beach is directly across the street from our hotel but the rainy weather and a full itinerary has made it difficult for anyone to spend much time there.
There is an internet cafe down the street from our hotel so I hope to make another update on Sunday with a recap of the game.
Tim Stried, SID.
