| Parc Guell for Sunset over Barcelona! |
This will have to be a quick update. Even though the work load remained light for a while, it has picked up. The semester has flown by and I am a lot closer to home now than I realized. There are comforts and people that make miss home, but it has been quite an adventure. My latest adventure was with a very special visitor from home ;) We spent a couple of days in Geneva exploring the Swiss life, and then headed on out to Barcelona.
Barcelona treated us very well. With our combined love of maps and tunnels, we headed out into the land of Catalan Spain to eat tapas, see Gaudi, and walk by the water. The first night we arrived, navigated the train and subway system, and headed down the famous "La Rambla." With our stomachs rumbling and it still be 2 hours until dinner time (in Spain they don't eat until 10!), we had our first Spanish ham that did just the trick to hold us until dinner. We had a nice dinner in Placa Cataluyna before retiring early before our super Barcelona day.
We walked all over Barcelona, from our hotel down towards the water to see the site of the Olympic stadium and the beautiful Mediterranean. We walked along the water, and then back through the Gothic town. We then navigated our way up to Guadi's La Sagrada Familia, which was started in 1882 will not even be completed until 2026. It was definitely the most unique Cathedral I have ever seen in my life. The pictures I have can't even start to describe the intricacies of it. Here is one picture, but I would definitely look it up online! We ended our tourist adventure watching the sunset in Parc Guell and eating tapas in the Gothic Quarter. Barcelona treated us well, and I had a great time!
