Barcelona, Take One.

Yes, I went to Barcelona.  When?  Two weeks ago.  Apologies for the delay.  So what did I do?  More like what didn’t I do!  But pretty much every European city has its own twist on the same things.  So… we saw cathedrals, museums, monuments, and food. 

The memories of exactly what we did when are a little hazy (strictly from lack of sleep and the amount we walked).  I think I’ll leave this post to the pictures with a small commentary.

Barcelona's Cathedral.  Nothing special..

Fruit stand in Mercat de Santa Caterina.  Delicious.

Picasso Museum.  Awesome.

Chocolate Museum.  My entrance ticket was a chocolate bar.  Enough said.
Beautiful view on the four-mile walk to the beach on a chilly day.  Why were we going to the beach when it was cold?  Because we could.
Sagrada Familia (famous Gaudi Cathedral).  I'll save the pictures of the inside for Barcelona, Take Two in a few weeks!

This sums up Barcelona in four words.
Parc Guell (Gaudi, again)
One of the many protests going on here.
Protests.
And I'll just save the rest of my pictures and thoughts for my next visit to Barcelona in a few weeks.  My thoughts on the city:  interesting, modern, lots of neat architecture, pretty crappy metro, and mostly, NOT SPAIN.
