tourist day [barcelona, spain]

Got up early (10:30) and headed out at about 1:30 to Parc Guell with Jen, Kate, and Isa. There's a lot of Gaudi architecture there. It has amazing views of the city and the buildings are so unique and interesting. Very colorful and fun to look at. Unfortunately there were a lot of tourists but I think going earlier and during the week it shouldn't be to busy this time of year. I definitely want to go back. After that we went to Las Ramblas and had churros and chocolate - it was a religious experience. Wow. After filling up with chocolate we walked through the Barri Gotic and went to the Cathedral. They had a really pretty courtyard inside that was pretty unique to other cathedrals I've been to, not to mention a public fountain we all drank from!

After all that sight-seeing we decided to stop in a few shops on the way home for a brief shopping trip - it's hard to resist the 50-70% off discounts during Rebaixes sales. Then we went to a bar for tapas and wine and now, after dinner at home, we're headed to a bar called Peppermint down the road. I love these girls!
