We woke up pretty early. We first went to the train station to get tickets for Toulousse. What a pain! But we got them. We then went to see Sagrada Familia by Gaudi. It was amazing. I had no idea it was that large! And the detail was unbelievable. Gaudi was seriously remarkable. We then found lunch and got some great sandwiches and some small little mom and pop place. Then off to Parc Guell, another Gaudi thing. This was also the park that one of the season finales of America's Next Top Model was filmed. So the trot uphill was not fun...good ole burning sensation in the buttocks. But the park was gorgeous!! We heard these musicians playing in one of the caves and it was incredibly peaceful. We then kinda got lost in the forest that is adjacent to the park. Jeff got me to run down a hill after him and boy did the momentum build up. If he didnt catch me I would have ended up running into a tree haha. I had absolutely no control of my body. But Parc Guell had the most interesting and colorful designs ever At Parc Guell

We then went to the Olympic Stadium. There were soooo many stairs and escalators everywhere! Our camera battery died there. But the stadium was huge and that is where the soccer team plays now. Then back to the hostel. We had some American roomies now and so we chatted for a bit. Then we went back to our market at hooker ave and got a baguette, ham, cheese, chips, and yogurt. The cheese was kinda weird but I still ate it cuz I really wanted cheese. After resting, packing up, and showering, Jeff and I got some Don Simon Sangria (the carton kind) and drank and played Rummy. Que bueno!! However, after getting back to the room I started to feel nauseaus. I wasn't drunk so I know it was not from that. As I was falling asleep the feeling got worse and I ran to the bathroom and puked. Pretty sure the cheese did it. Fell asleep feeling like CRAP!
