July 17th-25th
Eric and I went on a Edward Jones trip that he won with our great friends Charlie and Holly.
The trip was awesome and it was a wonderful time spent with friends!
The architecture was so beautiful!
This was our typical day...Eric and Holly figuring the map out and Charlie and I just sitting back waiting to follow along.
A very old church....Catedral de Barcelona
This was at the top of the church. You could ride a elevator that was a bit rickety to the top. A little scary, but the view was worth it!
Climbing our way to Park Guell. Yes we are dorks...but that is why we have fun together!
Holly and I had our moments of not sure what to do with ourselves without children...but we quickly figured it out!
Gaudi was an amazing architect and much of Barcelona's lure is due to him.
A fort
Barcelona's most unforgettable landmark, Guaudi's Sagrada Familia. This church that has been being built for over 100 years is like a stone Bible....It was the most amazing thing Eric and I have ever seen.
This side of the church was the Nativity facade. This was soft and curvy...amazing!!
The other side of the church represented the Passion facade. Dramatic contrast to the other side.
The view from the bell tower.
Inside the church was breathe taking. Every single thing had meaning. The large pillars here were to represent trees.
The stained glass was the most beautiful that I have ever seen.
We did a wine tour at one of the countries largest wineries Codorniu.
More awesome arhitecture!
The market which was so cool.
Some of the street attractions on La Rambla
The beach was just ok...lots of topless because that is how they do it there. The sand was like dirt which was strange. The really cool thing was people would just walk around and offer massages for like $6. Holly and I thought that was so nice.
We enjoyed great food and tons of fun things to do too! Shopping was fabulous here I think Holly has a few really good pictures that I may have to add to my collection.
