Barcelona, Friday, Feb., 19th

Today was a wonderful day.  We all went to Park Guell.  This place was amazing.  Trees lined the park with these beautiful green parrots flying from tree to tree, singing their morning songs.  The park itself was very nature friendly and serene.  The benches were curvy and well suited for sitting comfortably for your back.  The mosaic artwork was so colorful and beautiful.  Guell was a famous architect who designed this lovely oasis within an urban area.

We then visited the Sagrada Família, which was absolutely amazing!  This cathedral was breathtaking.  It was started by Gaudi in 1883 and he died in 1926.  It is still under construction to this day!

We then had time to roam around Barcelona.  We visited the famous market place.  There was such a variety of foods, some were very ethnic!
