Barthelona!


So I am officially the worst blogger ever right now. Sine it's been about three weeks since my last post. Which is more time than I have left I London.. scary. So let's get down to the good stuff.


My last flying trip (SCARY) was two weekends ago to Barcelona! Lindsay and I flew out and met up with her friend Ryan and my MAMA!
Gotta get the stamp!
I have been all around Spain and still Barcelona blew my mind.
And on Saturday morning we saw all of it. We hiked up MontJuiic which is where the olympic gardens were held. The climb up was quite scenic.
With Cannons

And ridges


And Mini Waterfalls
But nothing could beat the view from the top...
After hiking all the way up... we decided to take a more leisurely way down.
Air Gondola anyone?
After a nice ride down we decided to take on the city from the ground.

There were las ramblas which were filled with people, shopping and way to many pigeons.


Then we decided to check out the beautiful gothic district.

But the best part of Barcelona was I got to see my first beach in 8 months!
Walk way to the beach

Port

See no beach, hear no beach, speak no beach
And the beach was overlooked by a big freakin fish! What else?

The Olympic fish of 1992
And they're were even more crazier architecture to behold.
Mini Mall converted from an old bull fighting ring... why not?

The famous Gaudi Cathedral

They told us they estimated it would be finished in 25 years. They told my mom the same thing... 10 years ago

The Gaudi House
The Gaudi house happened to be the landmark for our awesome Hostel di San Jordi
Living room!
Just when I thought Barcelona could not get any prettier. We went out at night. The Palacio is great at night... especially since they added a MAGIC FOUNTAIN! ( seriously its name) Every 30 minutes they have a different show to different music. We got to enjoy classical, techno, 90's hits and Disney all in one night.

Overall it was an amazing trip. A great finale to my flying trips.

My next and FINAL trip is this weekend to the land of kilts and highlands!
