In the afternoon, part of the group headed to L’Aquárium de Barcelona to take in carefully curated exhibits on the marine life that surrounds us in the Mediterranean.We got to see some pretty cool sharks!We finished off the day with a Red White and Blue relay race, which included some States trivia and labeling the body parts in Spanish. It culminated in an epic plank contest, which Ella W. absolutely dominated with a 5 minute hold!The next morning started off strong with an impromptu juggling lesson in the courtyard of the Resa.
