Random Tiempo...

I have a few minutes so I'll just tell you about the Tuesday that Monica and I decided to explore the area around the Sagrada Familia and nearly walked ourselves to death! She and I decided to do a little sight seeing (for my sake really, but she was happy to do it with someone who would be ridiculous and take the pictures she never did...) So, we go to the Sagrada...its weird. I think that it really isn't that spectacular; really more of a spectacular mess if you ask me. There are some incredibly interesting carvings and statues but I wasn't awed. Whatever, it was nice. Next we walked a little further down and saw that Hospital San Pau. Gorgeous! I can't believe that a building (well many buildings to be exact) that ornate is still a working hospital. All the different parts are interconnected underground. It would be a nice place to work... fer shure (lol). Then, because we are geniuses, we decided to walk to the Parc Guell, the park with all of Gaudi's art and stuff.... It didn't look that far on the map. NOTE TO ALL: Whenever you find yourself saying that it doesn't look too far on the map then really it is. Really, really, really far. We found that out the hard way and walked about an hour (straight uphill the entire time), through some random neighborhood and up an overgrown alleyway path that probably hasn't been used since the early 1800's until we at last stumbled upon the Parc Guell. It was exhausting! But worth it. The park itself is beautiful and the day was a little overcast so I got some really cool pictures. So there is my little story and here are a few pictures, cause hey, that's what I do. :)

La Familia Sagrada....

Hospital San Pau....

Parc Guell....and me in the caves looking crazy from exhaustion and thirst....

There's a bunch of stuff at the Parc Guell... a mosaic bench that you can see a panoramic view of the city from, which is held up by these really crazy pillars underneath... There are random pieces of art, including the lizard everywhere.... We'll see if I can send the picture in for a Geico ad.... lol... no, really. Not really. Maybe.

So, there it is.... Just a day in the life. I will attempt to go online for the third day in a row (a new record) and tell you all about the Dali museum and Figueres... Maybe even show you all where I work, I know, I've been saying that forever!!!!!
