Barcelona!

For my last trip during my time over here in Europe I went with the Bentley crew to visit my buddies Joe and Stach. Barcelona had by far the fewest sites of all the places I went, but it made up for it in the categories of food and people. The Spanish, who have a long history of riding the world of Native American empires, were actually very pleasant. They weren't assuming and they were patient with a group of Americans who didn't speak Spanish. (Parisians could learn from this example). The big places to see were the incomplete Sagrada Família which is this massive chapel that looks like stylized mud. It still isn't complete because the artist believed that God's work takes time and that construction shouldn't be rushed. Describing it as "Stylized mud" might be a bit of a disservice, but let's face it, the Spanish don't have much on St. Peter's Basilica.

Park Güell was another place that was designed by the same artist and it too had a bunch of wacky designs that looked like they came straight from the Disney classic "The Little Mermaid". However, despite the sometimes goofy looking architecture it was overall a very neat place to visit.

Now, on to the exciting stuff. All of the discoteques went right out onto the beaches which makes me want to come back during the summer on vacation. The Mediterranean was just as beautiful as I remembered it and I want to go swimming when the weather isn't in the 50's. Just type in Barcelona beaches into Google images and you will see what I mean.
