Barcelona!!

Sorry for delay in posting, life gets crazy once in a while. Any way, after our initial tooling around Germany and France, we were off to Spain!!

After some fun with luggage weight at the airport, we finally got on board and were off to some fun in the sun. We landed and hopped on a bus to the city. By 2pm we were checked in and back out the hotel for some lunch and sightseeing. We hit the major shopping street, the main square and some amazing architecture.

Katie and Kelly actually ate this!! I was too scared :)



Day two we went to go see Sagrada Familia, the amazing Gaudi cathedral that is still being built. We spent time at Park Guell and then some great little shops along our walk. We toured a couple other churches, attended a choir concert in Santa Maria Del Mar, and found some good beer in an Irish Pub.

Sagrada Familia

A great market with fresh seafood, fruit and meats

All in all, Barcelona was a beautiful city. Right on the sea, sunny, and amazing buildings and history. We enjoyed our 4 days there and were ready to tackle the next city, Rome.
