Woke up a little later than we wanted and made our way to Sagrada Familia. For those of you who’ve been to Barcelona, you know this already, but there are no words for this place. I’ve known what the outside looked like and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s impressive, totally cool, and I could spend a whole day there. But the inside is what I think heaven looks like. To me, churches are very moving, and the building is just as important in faith building. The stain glass and stone work is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The pictures are nowhere near good enough. It was just plain unbelievable. I really hope they finish it in my life time, I’d really like to see that.
We went to the Mercat de la Boqueria after the cathedral and bought cheese, bread, jam, peppers and some chocolates. We went back to the apartment and had a little afternoon snack while listening to music. We haven’t quite figured out siestas yet though. We end up back in the apartment, but after a little food and too much talking, it was already time to go back out. Hopefully tomorrow will be better scheduled. We also busted out the cards I brought from France. Gabbie brought some great travel books and we went to Restaurant 7 Portes on their suggestion. We had a great meal of paella, spiny lobster soup, meatballs and cannelloni. Gabbie also had us try a liqueur called Fernet Branca. It was a little on the strong side for my taste, not sure how she does it. After dinner we walked around the harbor and after stopping to have a beer, we headed home.
We played card games and listened to music when we got back. Living in France, my music knowledge has diminished greatly. I always like switching out iPods and listening to different people’s choices. Good way to tell what’s going on in a person’s life.
