La Segrada Familia

---

This will be a shorter entry. I have written more recent entries and meant to get back to this one.

This day I remember we went up to Antoni Gaudi's house in Parc Guell. It was a small house but had some original furniture and architecture designed by Gaudi. In it we saw scaled models of other structures and designs that were built throughout Barcelona.

After the house we went to La Segrada Familia. At first I was a bit skeptical that we were paying 12 euros or so to enter, but when we got in, it was breathtaking! This had to be the coolest church I have been to in Europe. Super modern, and beautiful, and still really elegant. Gaudi is a master of lighting.. he basically designed the building considering how the light would play inside throughout the day. Pretty cool stuff. We spent a while in there taking photos. It's been being built for over 150 years now. It looks like there are still several years (10+) to go.
