    Barcelona - part 2

    1 de junho de 2023, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    Sagrada Familia, Park Guell - both designed by Antoni Guadi, View of Guadi's houses, Hop on Hop off bus.

    The Sagrada Familia is unlike any other church/cathedral we have seen. Jeff and Jacque were here in 2012 and would visit again. It is a work in progress, started in the 1880s with completion to continue for at least several more years.

    Park Güell is a failed urban housing experiment but an interesting park. Only 2 houses were built before world war 1 interrupted development.    Leia mais

    Barcelona - part 3

    2 de junho de 2023, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    On Friday, we had to say goodbye to Jacque 😔. It was great spending time with her. We then took a train to tour the Montserrat Monastery in the mountains outside of Barcelona and do some hiking, Our hiking turned into more of an adventure than planned: we went to the top of the mountain with the intent of hiking to a sacred cave. However, after 2 hours of hiking down the mountain over mostly very rough terrain, we arrived near some other caves -- and almost 4 miles from where we needed to catch the train back. We tried to get a taxi (even enlisted help of a woman working at a bar) with no success so we hoofed it back. This included over 3 miles on a windy mountain road with no berm. We made the last train with 30 minutes to spare.

    On Saturday, we saw a neighborhood festival where each street/neighborhood had their own marching group with instruments. Not sure I would call them bands.

    We also spent time at the Banksy Museum, Barcelona beach and surrounding area. This included a back-home style brewery (Black Lab) founded by a couple from Chicago.    Leia mais
