Barcelona!

Hello everyone! I have been getting requests to blog and I must say I did not realize that it had been so long! Last weekend Lindsey, Karen and I traveled to the sunny Barcelona. We thought it was a good decision to book our flight at 7:30 from Gatwick airport. This meant we had to wake up at 3 AM and be on the door at 3:30. We got to the airport after a crazy night bus and an express train. By the time we actually arrived in Barcelona (10:30) we were dead. Seonah was gracious enough to deal with leading three zombies around, so we set off to sight see.

Barcelona was a very very beautiful city. I was surprised at how you could walk almost anywhere you needed to get. We put a lot of miles on our feet by the end of the trip. We saw some pretty amazing sights including Sagrada Familia which is a Cathedral that has been being built for the last 200 years and is still not going to be done until 2026. It was insane to see something so huge with so many details.

After that we went to my favorite area, Parque Guell. This is a park on the side of a mountain where the artist Guadi created some of his art. There were tiles and beautiful sculptures everywhere. Here we set up camp and had a little picnic equipped with everything from cheese and crackers to Sangria.

As the trip came to a close we got to go to a fountain light show. This was my favorite thing I have done in Europe so far. It was the biggest fountain I had ever seen and as it got darker the whole thing lit up. We set on the stairs with about 100 other people and watched the 3 different shows it put on. It was too gorgeous for words.

Barcelona came at exactly the right time. I had begun to be a little bitter toward London because of the awful weather and was spending a lot of time in my flat. Barcelona got me outside and in the sun. I have never been more excited about a sunburn before in my life.

Love
