Leisure activity # 3: George Paynes


Many of the nights here in barcelona were spent at an irish sports bar called George Paynes. This bar is really close to school so sometimes we even go to lunch there because it is buy one get one free lunch specials ! When the superbowl time came, we all packed into george paynes for the game it was so much fun. We all got 10 euro beer buckets and ended up singing Kareoke- this was a pretty enjoyable experience for the crowd, because we sang a horrible song, and got made fun of :) but it was all in good fun. Then just the other day, we all packed in their yet again to watch the champions league game three; Real madrid vs. barcelona. It is a great place to watch games because there are so many large screen tv's and a lot of catalal people. They liek to get rowdy and cheer at all of the goals or losses, which really helps you feel like you are at the game yourself. The people were screaming the BARCA chant, which was really cool to hear just one last time before we head back to the states. This bar is located right across from the Urqiuona so it makes it really accessible ! This bar is one that i am going to miss when i go home, they have the best pizza and nachos and have helped us cope with missing our american foods !!! Here are some pictures from our wonderful singing perfomance on the superbowl:
