. Then the bus took almost an hour to get to the airport! I got there just as my plane was scheduled to take off! It took me about 20 minutes to track down who I was supposed to talk to to get this all figured out and when I finally did he said there was nothing he could do. I asked if he could refund any of the money and he said no, the only thing I could do was buy whole new ticket to Germany. Well, I wasn't about to spend another 200 or more euros for another ticket so I just decided to see if I could get my train ticket changed to today instead of Friday. Thank the Lord that I was able to get it changed! By then it was about 1:00 and my train didn't leave until 10:00 so I decided to go see Park Guell since that was all I had left to do. That was really cool, unfortunately I think it would have been a lot better if I had been in a better mood. It really didn't help that I had no one with me. It is the worst feeling in the world to be completely alone when something goes wrong. So I spent a lot of time in the park which was ok because it helped me to calm down a bit. The park was really cool. There is a section that has a lot of sculptures by Gaudi which is where most of the people were, and then there is another part of the park that is mostly just trails through trees and stuff. That part of the park was more deserted so I went there and just got alone with God. I prayed and read my Bible and stuff which really helped me calm down and when I finally left I felt much better, still sad and lonely but at least I know that Goe is with me wherever I go and whatever I do so I am not completely alone which helps a lot! So I got on the train to go home and it wasn't nearly as nice as the one to Barcelona because I didn't get a bed (the bed costs more). At least I am going home now though. Oh, yeah, the trip wasn't completely bad. Barcelona is a really awesome city and I would really like to go back and visit it again sometime (with someone). I am really glad I got to see all of the different architecture by Gaudi, he is one of my favorite artists.
