Barcelona

We caught the local bus to Las Ramblas and strolled down the boulevard on a Sunday morning. We walked all over the city searching out Gaudi's buildings. Here's three of them. They are quite astonishing. You can see how he took the local style and stretched it. They are still building his church. There was a long line to get buy a ticket and get in. But this was Sunday morning and we went around the side and joined the faithful going into mass. The interior columns are like palm trees and the windows that are in are amazing. On our way back we walked over Joan Miro's mural. My big accomplishment was buying two futbol (soccer) jersys for my grandchildren who were cat sitting. I had been given instructions for a Real Madrid shirt, because they are such a good team. The second shirt was Barcelona colours, and this team is doing very well this year. So one each for the up and coming soccer stars.
