Gaudi and Pickpockets in Barcelona
25 Mayıs 2023, Ispanya ⋅ 🌧 63 °F
Oh Barcelona- last time I was here was in 1996. I have such amazing memories being here, visiting with my mom, for a few days. We walked everywhere, had delicious tapas, and had so much fun!
This has been different - we’re so tired and ready to go home. That said, Barcelona is an amazing city.
Some of the positives of Barcelona:
- seeing everything Gaudi like Sagrada Familia and his house. His architecture - well…I can’t even put it into words - you just have to experience his art and think about his mind worked.
- watching a swing band at the roof of Casa Batllò with the girls at night.
- tapas to me were a huge treat; girls not huge on Iberian ham and seafood. I enjoyed it all!
Main negative:
I got pickpocketed the first time I let down my guard this entire trip! Someone stole my phone while at a very busy store - I didn’t even know until a security guard told me he saw a couple follow me in the store on security cameras and the woman took the phone and passed it off to the man. They got arrested and I got my phone back - hallelujah!
Humbling experience to have travelled around the world and 2 days before I come home to get pickpocketed…hey! That’s part of the experience though right??

We leave in the AM and will be traveling for about 24 hours to get back home. We can’t wait. This has been an adventure of a lifetime…and more than anything I’m so grateful that both Brian and I got to spend so much time with our girls. They are such special human beings and I know that we won’t get this opportunity probably ever again to spend this much time with them. They’re growing up so quickly and it’s been beautiful to watch!
I hope that these experience will continue to shift and shape their uniqueness in this world; I hope they see that life goes on whether we like it or not; that there are always different ways to look at life, people, cultures, foods, love, and even a landscape. The world can be raw, beautiful, unique, harsh, and comforting all at the same time. It’s kind of how I feel about Gaudi’s work.
We just need to continue to shift our perspective a bit, realize we will always be learning, and we have to be open to continuing to grow as human beings.
This is my last post from the Sellers Family Round-The-World trip! Sellers girls out ❤️ we can’t wait to be home with Brian and the doggies.Okumaya devam et
