Ok, so I have to confess... we didn´t quite make it out of our hotel as early as we would have liked to - but it was earlier than yesterday (ok, I confess it was only by about an hour) but we´re making progress, right? We got out and about slightly before noon today and spent the early afternoon at Park Guell. The pictures I´ve seen online and in text books don´t do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking and remarkable to think that these ideas all spilled out of one person´s brain. The meandering park bench was beautiful, so many different colors and the intricacy of the mosiac work was remarkable.
Next we spent several hours at La Sagrada Familia - The Church of the Holy Family. The construction on this church has been ongoing for over 100 years and you would think that it would be nearing completion - not so... but breathtaking nonetheless. The interior was filled with scaffolding but portions were complete or near complete and the intricacy and attention to detail are fabulous.
We´re off to catch dinner now and then we´ll be hitting the cruise ship tomorrow.
