No longer 21 and in Barcelona,... now 22!

Xavier Rudd was in fine form last night when he played his first Spanish show of his European Summer tour. I celebrated my birthday with Peter and Lily last night at a small venue called Sala Apolo, that was packed with the typical hippie crowd that idolizes this awesome Aussie musician. His didgeridoos, harmonica, percussion, and guitars played some of his new albumn, a couple of classics, and finally finished off with 2 favourite covers: No woman no cry, and Let it Be. Needless to say I had an amazing time, and it was the perfect way to relax.

Also, in order to cap off my 1st month here and to help with my 8 month integration into the Spanish way of life, I now have my first Spanish haircut! haha Don´t worry it isn´t a mullet, although that style is typical here, and I was quite afraid that I might leave the salon with one, since Ivan, my hairdresser, didn´t speak very much english. Anyways, I am very pleased with the result :)

Finally, here are a couple of pictures of the flat where I´m staying. I thought I´d post a couple since a few people have inquired about my accommodation. As you can see, it is no palace, but it´s got the basic necessities, and really it´s all about location. The one major thing we are missing is a/c,... therefore my birthday present to myself this year was a fan. Here you can see my room (a bit of a mess), the living room, and the view from our balcony.

Cariño, Sarah
