... 30mins, then we headed up the
mountain. There was impressive rock formations, great view and a
helicopter bringing material to workmen who are abseling/climbing the
sides of te steep rocks to shore them up from falling.
We all piled out of the bus, and strolled slowly with Pilar along the
walkway to the Basilica of Montserrat. Vendors were setting up stands
with fig cakes, pollen jars, ricotta and lots and lots of cheeses. The

Ed and I had booked to go to Barcelona, as his parents were there for the weekend before they left from the city on a Mediterranean cruise. We've both spent a significant amount of time in the city, but when it came to booking hotels, we found everything curiously expensive for the time of year and couldn't quite put our fingers on why. Nevertheless, we booked away, using a visit to see Ed's parents as good an excuse as any to spend a weekend outside of London. However, when Patricia ...

... dance. It only cost 3 euros and was definitely worth the money. It was also convenient (two doors down from my hostel) and the male dancer was so hot. I wished my Mom and Grandma would have been there. They would have loved it. The food was really good but very expensive. A plate of paella was 10 euros ($13 USD). But I ate it anyways. Overall, I loved this city and will definitely be back.

... only 6 quid a night, but really it wasn't quiet the quaint camp site with a nice pub near by. We ended up finding a nicer little farm camp site the next night and we cleaned Clive up. I also forgot to mention that our radio had decided to break just before we left Barcelona, but a quick trip to Halfords showed it was very minor and it was fixed very quickly and cheaply. So now we are back, just over 6mths in Europe over. Certainly not ...

... and banana with a cup of the green tea. The two servers were pleasant and remembered us on our second trip back in. A great spot for breakfast and an excellent way to start the day with the lively jazz music playing over the speakers. GRADE: A

La Rosa Negra- excellent restaurant with an even better drink menu (be sure to try the Caipiroska or the Strawberry Margarita). Service was great, the food was simple but delicious, and the ...

... unfinished. Now, I had been very keen on seeing this thing ever since looking at a photo of it in Rick's book. In the photo, the four spires of the cathedral look almost alien, something between a building and a sand-castle, as if extruded from earth. And on our long walk there (we should've taken the metro) I had been preparing myself to see such a site, and to be as overwhelmed by it as I've ever been by anything. But it is not to be. First, the ...

... and that's why his stuff is so Dr. Seuss-like! We saw a lot of the other real touristy things, like the statue of Columbus by the harbor "pointing to the new world", although he's not pointing the right way! And the Picasso museum which is really, really cool--it's his less known stuff, and it's like a diary of his life, going through the rooms of his painting development. We saw some other pretty churches and of course, some Roman ruins, because they are everywhere. At ...

So yesterday, I spoke of a futbol match between Barcelona & Arsenal (Great Britain team). Well, I was grossly misinformed on exactly how GIANT of a game this was for the city of Barcelona. Evidently, the match was the championship game for Europe's major futbol league. I've heard it been compared to the Super Bowl times ten! So last night, we watched the first half of the match here at our hotel & then left to go to a pub to watch the end. We ...

... in 1881, by Josep Ma. Bocabelli i Verdaguer. Disagreements between the architect Joan Martorell - the assessor of Bocabella - led Francesc del Villar to resign and Gaudi, assistand of Martorell, became architect of the Temple. Gaudi died in 1926 after being run over by a streetcar. However, the continuation of the Temple is still ongoing and is expected to be completed by 2026. This church was just an ...
