WOW, So today I went to the Sagrada Familia, which was constructed by Gaudi. AMAZING. I mean yesterday I drove by the place on the bus and yeah it looked cool but when your up close to it its Astonishing. Walking through the doors was like walking into a whole new world. I have never been to a church/catherdral/religious structure as amazing as this. The way Gaudi's mind worked was just intense. I took prob a good 100 pics of that one place. Inside, outside, every nook and cranny. Everything about that place had meaning behind it. The story that they tell you through the audio guide helped so much. Just over all amazing, I spent about 2 hours there. 2 hours of just one monument. I also went up the bell towers. Why oh why am I scared of Heights. Yet I will still go to the top of these monuments. And I just signed up for some reppling off a cliff in Switzerland. I will not let me little height fear get in my way. Allison has seen me scared on top of St. Pauls cathedral. ha. Man I prob looked funny. But again i paid the extra 3 euros to scare myself and go to the top of this cathedral. Well it was worth the fright.
Next stop to the Joan Miro museum. AMAZING. I realy think he is my favorite artist. What goes through someones mind when they paint such abstract. I mean its one thing to be a realism, painting scenery and normal things people see everyday. ( Not knocking their talent) But Miro was just crazy intense awesome. A good 2 hours there.
Then I went to Montjuic castle and hiked up the hill there. Exhausting hike. Great scenery of the city and the beaches. Just another castle though, seen quite a few by now and it was nothing impressive. but the views were great. And it was good work out. ha .But I did take the Lift back down the hill side.
Long day of touring around. Good stuff. Not sure If Im going out tonight or not. Since last night I didnt get much sleep and Im heading to the church in the mountains.
