Barcelona

                       
Ali and Me in the Gaudi park in Barcelona, even though you cant tell from the pictures, this park was so cool. It sat up on a hill overlooking the ocean, it also had structures all around the park that made the park look like a children's story. 
On the way back from Barcelona we stopped at the Monserat Monastery, it is on top of a beautiful mountain isolated from everything.



There were hundreds of repentance candles at the monastery
In Barcelona there are these amazing fountains that only go off on Friday every half hour. Music plays in the background and colored lights change, it was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. My favorite part was when they played Disney songs in Spanish.



The beach in Barcelona

One of the days was so nice, we got to just sit in the park and rest from walking 12 hours everyday
Me and Ben in the park

Gaudi designed a lot of buildings in Barcelona, these are a few of his apartments, everything was inspired from nature
The Gaudi chapel, it was not finished when he was run over by a street cart and it has still been in construction ever since. They try and work off the plans he left behind but its been a long process.



The harbor


The huge open market had everything you could think of. Every part of every animal sells, stomach, liver, oh and the infamous pig legs.

The seafood was still moving on the table
