Barcelona

So last weekend Lauren and I went to Barcelona, Spain. It was absolutely lovely. During the day we walked a lot. To the beach, through markets, through the narrow little streets. We saw Parc Guell with many Gaudi sculptures and mosaics. It was really neat to see. We drank sangria at the park, and we ate traditional Spanish dishes. The nightlife was lackluster, but we weren't looking for anything crazy. On our last night in Barcelona we even saw a flamingo show.

Our hostel was very clean and friendly. Kind of like a home away form home. The main area we spent our time was la Rambla. Along there was a lot of shopping and restaurants. There was a small market on Sunday too. There was also an incredible number of creative street performers. I really liked seeing the different things people would do for money.

Anyways, here's some pictures.

Barcelona looks so beautiful! The buildings look like they were part of an underwater world.
