Barcelona

Barcelona May 31st 2013 Arrived early in the morning in Barcelona on the cruise ship. We had arranged a city tour and transportation to our motel before we left. The tour took us to Mount Jew, a tall lookout mountain between Barcelona and the sea. Great view over a large portion of the city. Then some other sights. Then to Gaudi. Gaudi was a Barcelona based architect/designer. And he made / designed some really interesting and kind of bizarre buildings, parks & statues. The buildings look like fairy tale buildings (or horror stories) He made what is now a very popular city park. You would have to see it to believe it. I think he was a mad genius. It's eye candy ! Early afternoon we went to the motel. Talk about "modern" The room was unlike any motel room I have been in. Later, Erik, Timm, Megan, Kelli & I took a subway into town, The "Las Ramblas" section. Lots of people, lots of stores. Loved the farmer's market. You would not believe everything there. Amazing variety of candies. Then there was the meat market. Can you say goat head? Kelli was creaped out. It was a great evening.
