So we are waiting to go to the train station to catch the overnight train to Paris.  We had a nice day in Barcelona today...it consisted mainly of sightseeing Gaudi architecture and shopping.  We started out at Front of Sagrada Familia

the Sagrada Familia, which is a church Gaudi designed.  It is still being constructed and will be under construction for many years to come as it is funded by donations and proceeds form tourists´ tickets to tour the church. Inside Sagrada Familia

From the church we went to Park Guell to see more of Gaudi´s design. Jeff at Park Guell

We just got back from a restaurant with some tasty tapas for dinner.  Tapas are little appetizers and Jeff tried all kinds of new food...salmon eggs for example!  Tapas (Dessert)

Getting cultured?
What, no breweries. Is Jeff getting thirsty or are the tapas satisfying him for now? I love hearing from you and 'living' it along with you. Thanks Ashley for writing, Mom (Patti)
