Steve Reed, Cottey's director of public information, traveled in Barcelona, Spain, with Cottey students, faculty and staff over spring break. He reported back with a series of articles written as letters home to his mother. This is the fifth of five letters. Buenos Dias, Mama! It is our last day in Barcelona, and there is still so much I want to do. There is not enough time for it all. Today is a free day, and everyone is able to choose what they will do today before our farewell  dinner this evening . Priscilla and some students are going to visit an amusement park on Tibideo (the mountain-more like a very big hill-just up from our hotel).

Steve Reed, Cottey's director of public information, traveled in Barcelona, Spain, with Cottey students, faculty and staff over spring break. He reported back with a series of articles written as letters home to his mother. This is the fourth of five letters. Buenos Dias, Mama! I cannot believe it is already Friday. It will be a busy day today. Mari Anne and I are tagging along with Priscilla and Tammy on their module: The Camp Nou (pronounced new) Experience. Camp Nou is the stadium of the world-famous soccer team FCB, which stands for Futbol Club Barcelona. Imagine the success and popularity of the New York Yankees in baseball or the New England Patriots in American football. Now add them together and double it and you have an idea of how popular this team is around the world. Going to Camp Nou is like going to the Mecca of European soccer. It is also the second-largest soccer stadium in the world with seats for 99,000 fans. It's hard to imagine that many people in ...
