... Palace). Then, we were at one of Barcelona's most popular locations, the football stadium of F.C. Barcelona. Last years Champions League Champions! Needless to say, F.C. Barcelona rules this city! Unfortunately, they weren't scheduled to play while we were in town!

We decided to disembark our red tour bus for the blue bus at the next stop as both were meeting at the Francesc Macia-Diagonal stop. This blue bus would take ...

... box and finally through a museum about Barca futbol. The stadium holds around 90000 people. It was huge!! In the museum they had the major tropheys on display including the Champions cup. Unfortunanlty we didnt get to see the home locker room, which i'm sure would be rather impressive.

After the stadium we headed to the Gothic Quarter for lunch. Terence (the brit) took us to ...

We departed london for barcelona with our egos (except for chaces of course) in check a little bit after getting getting turned down so many times in london. We took a plane to barcelona and I was sitting in row 16, aaron was in 17, and chace was in 18. Aaron happned to be sitting next to two english girls who were headed to barca on holliday. Chace and I went to sleep during the ride but aaron decided to do work. So he talked to the two girls for about two hours and they said ...

We then attepted to go to the Contemporary Art museum but it had closed just 15 mins before we got there...BUT we chilled and watched as hundereds of skateboarders skated around this museum....half of which would kick any Americans ass if they came to compete in the USA!!!!

... a fairer day. I found an cool vegan restaurant called Juicy Jones on the way to La Rambla, and had the most perfect smoothie. It was so fresh and vibrantly decorated, it just drew me in. Also, how could I resist a Barcelona restaurant with my same last name. ha. http://www.juicyjones.com Today, Friday, was a much more interesting day. I started the day with an expresso in the cafe downstairs with Leona, and our new friend we met ...

... to another, where differing architects have involved in the building. My photo's just don't do this justice so recommend you see this for yourself. 2) Parc Guell - which like most things in this city worth seeing, also has some Gaudi influence. Commissioned by a family of industrialists - the Guells, the building of this garden took 14 years and was a bit of a disaster resulting in only 3 houses being completed. However it is now ...

Bright colors, animals, lizards and strange constructs that make you feel as if you've stepped into a Dali surrealist painting. However, the guy was a devout Christian and his art was derived from 'the beauty of god's creation. He studied nature's shapes and incorporated them into his work; everything from tree trunks, bees wax, shells, the arches of waves, the spiral ...

hola amigos! que tal! barcelona, what a busy city! there´s plenty to see and do, and I feel Sandra and I had a nice little taste. Every street there is something new, whether it´s a door knob in the shape of a fist, or dogs walking themselves. Imagine streets that go off in all directions with names like "carrer de muchas gentes" and then have that connect like a spider web to 10 other streets.
