| Indepedencia! |

| There's Auntie Christa and Uncle Craig ahead |
Today is Independence day for the Catalan region. We made flags with crayons and a straw for the
holding on part and we coloured one side the Catalunya flag and the other the Canadian flag. Auntie Christa and Uncle Craig had the Scottish flags on theirs too. We went to the rally with Auntie Christa and
Uncle Craig and our friend Jaume from camp and his parents and little sister. During the rally (which was supposed to be
something close to 2 MILLION people!) we waved our flags around and chanted and
sang and people banged drums and made lots of noise. It was SO crowded and there was so many
people and it took FOREVER to even walk a few steps. I started feeling really tired so during the
rally my dad and I went and got an Orange Fanta and some waters for everyone else and somehow
amazingly we found them again in the gigantic crowd!! I think it would be kinda weird if Catalunya leaves
Spain because how will they get all their food supplies!? It definitely seems like most people here
want to be independent and my parents say it is similar to the situation with Quebec and
Canada.
