La Primera semana de campamento...(the first week of camp)

Leaving our home with enough time to find the kid's camp went smoothly.  However, after walking our 3 blocks to the metro and enduring our 6 stops on the metro we were quite shocked that no one could tell us where the street to our school-camp was....  finally after asking 5 or 6 people we made it to our destination.  Walking in to the dormatory multipurpose room was like heaven for the kids.  Vending machines, fooseball, ping pong and a pool table.....  ton's of kids, speaking all different languages.  My only sense of relief for leaving them til 8:00 pm was that they were together.  Well, I dropped them off, met a friend for lunch, went to my language school and arrived back promptly at 8 pm.  When I arrived, they were not ready to leave, they were still playing and having a good time with their new friends.  What a relief!

Everyday a different activity.  The beach, Montjuic, games at the camp.  Their days were filled.  New friends everyday.  Rowan from Ireland, Felix from Australia, Alexander from Florida, Nicholas from San Francisco.  After picking them up on Thursday night.  We planned on meeting a new friend, Katherine with her kids and their friends at the Fountain of Montjuic.

Montjuic Fountain first spouted in 1929 during the Great Exhibition.  At night time during the summer months, the fountain displays a colour, light and water dance with musical accompaniment (similar yet much grandeur than the Las Vegas display at the Bellagio )  There are over 3,000 jets with over 4,000 lights.
