The first leg of our trip was Barcelona! Gianna’s best
friend from home is studying in Barcelona so we met her there and she acted as
our tour guide for the few days we were there. First we went to see the
fountain show in one of the main squares, which was beautiful! Then we were off
to dinner and a night on the town.
The next morning we stopped by this fascinating basilica
called Sagrada Familia by the famous architect Gaudi. It has been under
continuous construction for over 100 years and since the original designs
burned in a fire it has been finished using other architects best guesses. We
met Molly at the church then went to brunch were I got this delicious pear
salad.
The beach was next, but we had to walk along the docks to
get there and they were filled with a lot of beautiful yachts! The weather was
perfect but it looked like a storm was coming in so after grabbing some gelato
we went back to the Metro to go to the Picasso museum. We didn’t end up going
but we wandered around the neighborhood and saw a seagull viciously kill a
pigeon.

The beach closest to the center of Barcelona!
This gorgeous yacht is for rent, so if anyone feels like taking a cruise I'm more than up for accompanying them!
The famous steps in the park!
Climbing up to this beautiful park was the next thing on our
list! The view of the city was amazing and the structures in the park were
interesting and pretty in a unique way. Overall it was a perfect way to spend a
few hours.
That night we ate dinner and crashed to get up early the
next morning and go to Lisbon (which was my favorite of the stops, Paris being
a close second)!
