No classes today...yesss!  We got to visit a "Al Monasterio de Poblet" today.  I was really excited for our visit to the monastery.  We got there around 12 pm and had an hour tour.  It was so beautiful!  The stone, architecture, and gardens were indescribable.  Our tour guide showed us the old parts of the monastery that aren't really used anymore.  The entire time I was looking around thinking how awesome it would be to spend time in the Word and in prayer at this beautiful place.  I can't even describe how beautiful it was...I could have spent the entire day exploring!

After our visit to the monastery, we headed to a medieval/ancient city called "Montblanc" to have our picnic lunch (bocadillas as always) and explore a little bit.  It was a cute town with beautiful, stone buildings and cobblestone roads.  We all were still hungry after our picnic lunch so we found a cafe that served cappuccino and churros!  What an awesome afternoon snack, huh?!  The cappuccino was absolutely delicious and the churros were yummy, but we concluded the ones in Tarragona are better!  After hanging around outside in Montblanc, we headed back to the bus to go back to Tarragona.  Once we were back, we had a free afternoon until dinner.  Most everyone took a siesta, read, or just hung out.  I spent the majority of time reading "The Help" and I just finished tonight...woo hoo!  That book was seriously amazing, definitely finished it in about 3 days!  Nothing too much has been going on today besides our excursion.  Tomorrow we have our regular classes and then an excursion after dinner, I think.  Sorry for a not as detailed post today, it is almost 1 am here and I am ready to crash!  Buenas noches!
