   Barcelona is an incredibly fun city and I could easily see why people come and then never leave. Too bad I love home too much to ever be this far away, but I do love this country. Our next day in Barcelona, we enjoyed sleeping in a little and then took a taxi to the Sagrada Familia. This is an exceptional piece of architecture built by Antoni Gaudi and it defines the city of Barcelona, everyone says that if you can see nothing else, see this. It is so complex and the details of the rock are unique and unlike anything I've ever seen. It also has some of the most amazing stained glass that I have ever seen. 

     
     After going to the Sagrada Familia, we took the metro back to our neighborhood and met up with friends of ours from home, John and Christina. John went to and used to work at Athenian and has known our family since we have been there. Their son, Jak, also is one of my campers so their whole family is around and they happened to be in Barcelona the same time as us. We went out for tapas and claras (beer with this lemonade stuff, its awesome) and he gave me all these places to see throughout Spain. He studied here and lived here for a couple years so he knows everything, so it was really fun and helpful so have him around to tell me what everything was. We walked around the Barric Gotic and enjoyed the sunny afternoon.

     After a long afternoon of walking around, mom and I went home for a siesta at like 6:30pm. We woke up and it was raining to we opted to stay in and enjoy the complimentary wine provided by the hotel on our balcony.
