Tuesday and today were a rough few days. Having just gotten back from Italy on Monday, we leave for our class trip to Morocco tomorrow!!! As much as the whole class is looking forward to the trip, there has been a good bit to do before leaving. Seeing that the Muslim culture in Morocco doesn’t look too highly upon tight clothing that most of us are accustomed to, Lindsey and I went on a shopping trip with Hawra who, being Muslim, was about to help inform our decisions on what would be appropriate to wear while in Morocco. Aside from needing to go on a shopping adventure, last week, Christi cancelled our sketching class so that we would be able to finish our studio work—but asked us to promise in return to dedicate these two days to sketching. Consequently, we spent from about 9:00am each morning until late afternoon walking through Barcelona and sketching at various sites.
On Tuesday, we visited Montjuic where a large cemetery, the Olympic village, the Botanical Gardens, and the Barcelona Pavilion are located. While here, our primary focus was in the cemetery at a memorial park. Here, we looked at the procession into and out of the space.
Today, we went down to the water. The weather, as with yesterday, was perfect—sunny and warm. While we sketched up on the walkway, there were old men basking in the sun on the beach below, along with some younger people playing volleyball. Our focus for sketching today was the revitalization and integration of parts of Barcelona. This integration is known as 22@. 
We ended the day at Glories, an outdoor shopping center, where we were able to find clothes appropriate for our trip.
