Our first site seeing stop was Sagrada Famalia, Antonio Gaudi’s church:
Apartment in Barcelona that Gaudi built:
Day 2 we toured the house Gaudi built for the Guell family:

Day 2 and we are still waiting for Karman’s luggage, which arrived at 11:30 pm. At least he knew to pack an extra shirt and shorts.
Day 3 we wandered around the area and took a ride on the “hop on hop off” bus.
Last day, Day 4 and we did our own transportation riding city buses, subways and trams. We crossed the city to Guell Park:
And yes, we hiked all the way up from the bottom of the street to here:
Thankyou 95 steps.

Karman really wanted to see this church in the distance, so we took a bus, tram ride to get there, along with a half hour hike:
Jamie and I hiked up “a lot of steps, we quit counting” and stood just under his feet.

On to Italy!!
