Snow in Barcelona!!

Barcelona hit with heaviest snowfall in 25 years

Schools were closed, roads were blocked and power was knocked as Barcelona was hit with its heaviest snowfall in 25 years.

Those were the headlines this week. On Monday we got snow.

Now, I know to most of you snow isn´t too news worthy since you live with it half the year...but here in Barcelona it´s pretty much a novelty. You should have seen the people taking pictures (ok, so I was one of those people). Roads were closed, buses and trains stopped working. Let´s just say, it´s a good thing it doesn´t snow often or we would be in big trouble!

Snow on the beach. Something I don´t think I´ve ever seen before.

The funniest thing to me were the umbrellas. I don´t think I´ve ever see people use umbrellas in the snow before either?! And the people that actually work in Barcelona (not the tons of tourists) were visibly annoyed by the snow, and of course all the problems and inconveniences it was causing.

I got to leave work early so David could pick me up because the trains weren´t working. We picked up Julia and sat in traffic for a while, until I thought of something better to do....we went to movie and had dinner and by the time we got back on the road everything was cleared up and we got home nice and quick!!
