PARK GÜELL

Gaudi.

The effing man.  LITERALLY built a museum for himself before he died.  (Fun fact, he died by getting hit by a car.)  Any who, today after a lovely stroll in our favorite market on las ramblas, taylor franzi and i ventured off to the gaudi park- park guell.

gorgina.

The views were amazing, the art was beautiful, and the architecture was absurdly unique, to say the least.

At the top, you can see the whole city.  This is me Franzi and Taylor thinking into the distance---

this is what people refer to as "visual poetry"

Then from the top, you start walking down huge windy paths, that eventually turn into either stairs or more of the path.  We're really smart so we walked UP the stairs and then down the path.  Obviously, here is a picture...

Franzi and Taylor above me on the path.  It is questionably handicap friendly.

The stairs/path lead down to this little cafe with a big plaza esq thing, with more beautiful views.
Here, you can sit in little nooks (see above DUH).  We got a guy to take this picture of us and then he asked us if we wanted a glass frog.  We said no.  The plaza is held up by 86 (i think) pillars.  Apparently they represent something? If you want to know, look it up, you clearly have internet access.  However if you just want to see a picture of Franzi hiding behind a pillar, look no further.
SPOTTED.

Finally, there are some mosaic things.  One is a lizard (Franzi has that pic), and then the others are seen below.


GAUDI BITCHES.

Franzi has more pics, and I will be adding them shortly, along with more words.  For now, please enjoy this artistic picture I took of us walking home at sunset.

Two Weeks So Far

Today marks two weeks in Barcelona, Spain.  While that seems like no time at all, especially considering that I will be here until May, I feel like I've been here for much longer.  We have eaten Paella, gone to an F.C. Barcelona game (where Messi scored a hat trick!), went discotekking by the sea, and met many locals!

 Ellen and I eating Paella and drinking Sangria
 Some Barca boys!
  At the FC Barcelona match!

Best part about Spain thus far? -  FOOD. Paella, tapas, fresh markets...que delicioso!! So wonderful... Close runner up- Ciestas.  Everyday there is time set aside to nap.  How perfect does that sound? America needs to get on that, pronto.
 Fresh fruit at the market
Candy at the market...YUM

Worst part so far? - Other Americans in Spain.  I didn't fully understand why everyone hates on Americans until I got here and met other Americans spending time here. LOUD doesn't even begin to describe them...obnoxious is more like it!

Regardless, I have met some great American girls here, and we're excited to travel together.  First trip booked? MOROCCO!

From here on out, I promise to write way more often...especially since mis amigas will be traveling soon as well!

Besos!!!!!
