La Sagrada Familia

Now in Barcelona, we have taken some time to enjoy the famous Antoni Gaudi designed, Sagrada Familia. It is a church that began construction in 1882, but is still incomplete. Beautiful and amazing, with a very organic and look in tune with Gaudi's style, the building is far from complete. I understand that the Spanish Civil War certainly put some of a halt to it and construction techniques had to be developed to create portions of it. However... I mean, seriously... 1882?! Get it done already!!

We have also spent some time at the beach. I have a slight tan and no burn. Can you believe it?! I never use sunscreen. It's like the land of No Sun Burn here. Anyway, Barcelona is beautiful. It's nice to finally be in a city with sophistication again. Some parts of Spain they don't realize that mullets are NOT cool. The girls in some areas have these weird female mullet/small town/poodle doo/straight banged/Elvira/neo-punk/dirty hair styles. It's wretched and even the hot girls looked dirty and trashy. Barcelona is different. Laid back beach town with sophistication and history. I love it!

We are here for a couple more days and then everyone goes home except Keith and I who travel to Switzerland for a few last adventures. Today we're off to Montserrat, a monastery in the mountains outside Barcelona.
