Right after Italy we had 2 weeks home and then we went off to Barcelona. We ended up getting the air plane tickets for 19 pounds each. Really couldn't pass it up. So off we went for 8 days.
Honestly, 8 days was way to long for one place. We could have stayed there for 4 to 5 days and seen everything. So we did a lot of baby walking practice around town. We saw all kinds of things and found ourselves spending lots of time on Las Ramblas. Every day we ended up there.
We went to every Gaudi thing that we could find. Including the Sagrada Familia. This was by far the most amazing church we have ever been to. It was definitely more of a work of art in my mind. The pillars were inspired by Sequoia redwood trees (my favourite tree). The facades are beautiful works of the stations of the cross and the nativity scene. The church hasn't been completed yet. The estimated projection for the completion is when I'm 60 (so 30 years). I can't wait to see it completed. |
| The relic |
Seems like Spain has a lot of 2 things: Religion and Art! Luckily those two things go well together. We visited the Monstraat monistary in the mountains of Barcelona and saw a very special relic that was founded at the site. (The black Virgin and baby - may or not be real) And then we made our way 2 hours North to see the Dali museum. Dali is one of our favorite artists. He made something out of nothing. It was very much like art in Baltimore and it always makes me miss home.
