My roommates & I saw Mumford & Sons in Barcelona at the Sant Jordi club a couple weeks ago. They were incredible. I loved to hear everyone singing in their different accents.

In Barcelona we didn’t have spring break, we had Semana Santa. (Easter Week). My friends & I spent the first half in Italy & then I came back home to meet my family for their visit to BCN. (!)
~ Florence: on top of the Duomo
~ Florence: the leather market
~ It actually leans !
~ The most beautiful train stop ever
~ Breathtaking Cinque Terre
~ Underwater Venice.
[not pictured: gelato everyday, spending a full day drawing beautiful buildings, missing trains, new soul-mate friends, black plagues, adorable Italian accents, a classic gondola ride in Venice, numerous cups of coffee, & gluten free food !]

![I’m out traveling during Semana Santa & I had a day to myself in Florence. I didn’t have plans but I stumbled across an art supply store, bought some paper & pencils, and sketched my favorite places. It was so great I thought I might melt from happiness. & then a Turkish man asked me if I would consider selling this one. I covered the cost of my supplies and used my earnings for coffee & gelato !
[p.s. this is the bridge that the gold market is on]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/2d09057ac25ae825379bd7b967d422ae/tumblr_mk4iy1DSCc1s1fqg4o1_500.jpg)
