I slept in again. My lack of sleep from the weekend had been catching up and I had a cold that was developing. By the time I woke up, Pepita was home! I was so happy to have her back. She gave souvenirs to her grandkids and her other daughter (and family) also came over to welcome her back. She got me a necklace too! After she had given everyone gifts, they all left. For lunch, it was back to the two of us. I had planned to meet Amie and Erin at Sants Estacio after lunch (that is the big train station of the city and it is close to my apartment). Unfortunately, I got a call during lunch not come. They couldn’t take trains on the high speed train to Sevilla, so they had decided to go to Mallorca instead! They said they off to find the ferry and that was the last I heard from them. I spent the afternoon relaxing and doing some reading for literature.
I also watched the Pope on the TV later that night. I watched him as he left from the airport and as the king and queen waved him goodbye. The king and the Pope both gave “thank you” speeches to each other before the departure. I was happy that I did not attempt to see him at La Sagrada Familia, because I heard it was insanely crowded and exhausting. Maybe if I was Catholic, I would have made a better effort to see the Pope. Not to be irreverent, but to me the Pope is just another guy and not that big of a deal. I took a picture of him on the TV though, just to say I saw him.
