Monday, July 9th Technology

     We all woke up jumping with energy, except for Matt who was not so happy to start the day. Evan Langebeck and David were so excited, Matt didn’t even see them that morning. Evan Cope was fueled because he had been waiting the whole trip to go to the Catalonia Science and Technology Museum. As we were getting ready Matt decided to cover Evan Langebeck’s head with Matt’s dirty underwear. Evan Langebeck ran around his room screaming until he hit the wall and fell over.

     When Langebeck got up we headed out to the museum.  After the long trip, we finally got to the museum and entered. We all admired the flight exhibit portion of our tour. David especially enjoyed the "Computer Enigma" portion of our tour, which featured some of the first calculation tools mankind ever used dating back about 5,000 years. The exhibit also has one of the intricate enigma machines that the Germans used during WWII to encrypt their messages. Matt happened to enjoy the "Montesa Transports and motorcycle" exhibit. The exhibit featured the "Despertaferro" a solar powered vehicle created by the UPC. After a fair amount of time at the museum, we decided to head back to the hotel. When we were at the hotel we decided to watch some TV. After a few hours of TV, we decided to go out exploring, and looking around for some action.
     As we approached an empty kiosk, Matt positioned himself in front of the kiosk. Langebeck sprinted into Matt pushing him into the Kiosk hitting his head on a strangely warm pile of coats. Matt being super angry prepared to charge at Langebeck, however, David whispered to him, revenge is a dish best served cold. Matt then smiled so deviously the devil got scared. We then stumbled upon a group of guys slowly circling us like vultures over a freeway. All of our anxiety quickly rose up, as we all knew what was about to come. We all made sure to stay calm on the outside, except for Cope who wallowed in fear. All we could see was the dim glow of some sort of object. When the stopped moving the almost comforting sound of their footsteps stopped. It became apparent quickly that this was the calm before the storm.
     About a minute went by where we were just standing still. Matt could feel the tension growing he knew he had to do something, Matt was about to strike. One of the guys finally said, “You need directions?” We ran, being petrified we sped up we got back to the hotel in record time. After that fiasco, we decided it was a good idea to not leave the rooms until the next day.
