Day 93
Barcelona, Spain.
We used the complimentary shuttle bus to go into the main tourist mall leading to a central plaza.
Once acclimatized to the surroundings, we chose a hop on, hop off bus to tour all the city efficiently.
Barcelona is the town of Gaudi, the wonky architect who is unconventional, he uses lines that imitate nature; his buildings are rounded, curved, honeycombed and spiraled with ceramic added in weird and wonderful places. We saw his apartment buildings, his cathedral, started in the late 1800s and still full of scaffolding with only 7 out of 16 steeples finished- he is dead but work will go on for another few 100 years. Then we climbed to his garden and home, another masterpiece with a park bench 100 feet long- curved!
After we completed our bus tour, we walked the mall and stopped in for Tapas- expensive with a 10$ beer but Terry’s gazpacho was delicious.
