Barcelona, Spain

We are home from Barcelona!! We had an AWESOME trip and loved every minute of it!! We made it there by Friday afternoon and found our hostel. We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the Olympic park and seeing all of the different fields, pools, etc.

Things were very well kept up there. We also walked around the town and saw some of the big sites to see. In the evening, we spent our time on La Rambla (the night life street). It was full of people just walking around. In the middle of the street were lots of people sellings things... face painters, caricature artists, spray paint artists, dancers, musicians, and people dressed up as random things to make money.
This guy was one of the best. He was a frozen statue that stood perfectly still like this. When someone put money in the jar, he would change his position.

On Saturday, we visited all the big touristy places. We saw lots of neat buildings and went to a few parts. This is an apartment complex designed and build by a guy names Guadi. He is very popular in the city. He build a lot of buildings, has a bunch of benches made out of glass pieces, and started a church. In this apartment, there is not a single straight wall or 90 degree angle.

We went to a park that had a view of the whole city. We went at night and during the day. It was beautiful!

On Sunday we spent the afternoon at the beach. The place was packed, but we found a couple of lounge chairs to spend a few hours in. We both got in the water, but not for long. It was really cold. We enjoyed the sun nonetheless!

This has been one of my favorite trips. The weather was perfect and we saw a lot of neat things! Besides getting food poisoning on Saturday and eating that fish on Sunday, all was great! And it's hard to beat a beach like this! I have more pictures posted on my Picasa site if you are interested in seeing more!
