Day 2 in Barcelona

Neeka and I had decided we would get all the sight seeing done Tuesday, so that Wednesday we could just relax at the beach. This was an excellent plan!

Tuesday we pretty much walked across Barcelona. Starting off with a croissant and café con leche (café o lait) we began the day with more exploring. On our way to Segrada Familia we got off at the wrong metro station, well actually I don’t think it was the wrong station we just went the wrong way when we exited the station. It was funny though because we headed toward what we believed to be the Segrada Familia, but we thought it would have been much bigger, especially according to the photos we had seen. Again a slight detour but at least it was a nice spot, took a few photos and then went off to the real thing. La Segrada Familia is amazing, one of Gaudi’s many creations. It is still not completed and won’t be until at least 2020 they say but thus far I was impressed. Everything had such intricate details, the high vertical towers, the ceilings, the doors and windows, it was all so beautiful.


Then we were off to Park Guell, another hop on the metro and then a whole bunch of escalators to help us climb to the top of the hill to reach the park. I am so glad the escalators were there otherwise I don’t know if I would make it, especially from all the walking the night before. A winding pathway led to the popular square with all the mosaic benches, down to the famous mosaic lizard and to Casa Museu Gaudi.

We got some awesome pictures of the view from up here. We stayed at the park for a few hours. Had lunch there, I say lunch but more like a bag of chips with Ketchup (a Neeka delicacy), candy and a Fanta. Mmm sounds pretty healthy to me! Out of the wonderland of the park we returned to the busy streets of Barcelona to the port and to do a little shopping. I was quite successful with the shopping on this trip, getting a few things, including some skinny jeans (I never thought I would get them but they actually look quite good, sorry Justin I know you don’t like them). At the end of the night we were again exhausted and just fell right to sleep.

You guys look like two Persian models in Spain, with your fashionable glasses, and one with red dress. I am glad you had a good time in Barcelona.
