We arrived in Barcelona yesterday and we had to wait for our hotel room for several hours. None of us were able to sleep on the plane ride over so once we got into our room, we decided that ¨When in Rome...¨and we took a five hour siesta! In the early evening we went for a walk near the hotel ~ the weather is beautiful, 68 or so, but with at least 90% humidity. Unfortunately Mom was busy gawking at the beautiful buildings and didn´t see this tiny marble step and took a tumble. She´s alright, a little banged up and sore, but we aren´t giving her a chance to cramp up!
This morning after getting up at 11:00 (I guess I´m really getting into this unemployed thingie aren´t I?) We grabbed a absultely wonderful pastry and headed off in search of the hop on\hop off bus tour. Unfortunately, the hotel staff sent us on a wild goose chase and we ended up having to take a taxi (see aforementioned ¨tumble¨ for clarification) in a totally different direction. After exchanging our voucher for the actual tickets, we boarded the bus and sat back and enjoyed the ride. Travis was totally in awe of the La Sagrada Familia and some of the other Gaudi architural marvels we passed really want me to return. Our plan is to get up a little earlier than 11 tomorrow morning and take a taxi to Park Guell since the bus stop is still several uphill blocks away (see aforementioned ¨tumble¨ if you still need clarification) and then after catching all of the sights at the park, we are going to catch the bus back to the Church of the Holy Family and do a tour there.
We miss everyone...
