Vacation Memoirs: Barcelona
We got to go on an amazing Mediterranean Cruise this past summer, June to be exact and I realized I hadn't even looked through and edited the pics I took on the trip. So it's time and I figured I would share, why not? First stop, Barcelona. Our cruise left from there so we stayed for 3 days before getting on the ship. Thank God, because luggage did not arrive until the day we were getting on the ship. Thank God, unlike Tampa, Spain has amazing shopping, H&M, Zara, and Mango on every corner so it wasn't too hard to find something to tide me over. We met some friends and have some random stories so I'll post more on the other places we stopped eventually.

We have no luggage at this point so my entire outfit is from a little trip to H&M
Christopher Columbus is suppose to be pointing to the new world but supposedly he is pointing in the wrong direction

I love the Mediterranean, all kinds of sailboats in the harbor
Ok, this is my favorite thing we got to see. It's the La Sagradia Familia which means "Family Chapel". The architect, Antoni Gaudi's masterpiece. It's been under construction since 1882 and won't be done until the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death 2026. He was unexpectedly hit by a tram in 1926 leaving it unfinished. I've seen a lot of different places around the world but nothing like this.
This woman really wanted to get into the church, the police didn't let her in for long though.
Each side has a different facade, this is the Passion, there is also the Nativity, and the Glory which is not completed yet.
