Work Week Number 1

Almost the end of my first work week and so far, so, so good. I am really enjoying my time at work thus far. The two founders of the company are both young and American. They actually were in a situation similar to mine four years ago when they both decided that after college they would work for a while in Barcelona.....and long story short, they still haven't left. So it's been really cool to be working with two Americans who know so much about this city after living and working here for the past 4 years. I think they also appreciate having someone new to talk to about the things from American culture that they miss like baseball, football, Thanksgiving and tailgating. I have already learned so much from these two locals. They have given me important local information, such as where the best tapas are, the best chill bar, the best champagne bar, the best pizza-by-the-slice (had it today....ridiculously good and delicious), the best museums and the one place in the city where they serve food late! (obviously very important). I guess in the end all the hoops I jumped through, the challenges that I faced trying to find the right internship and the struggling through being homesick and questioning why I am here has all been worth it. Because I am starting to really fall in love with this city and it's relaxed way of life. Tomorrow brings an end to my first work week and the beginning to weekend number two! Things are really falling into place.
