Barcelona!

It's been over a month since we moved and I realized that I didn't finish blogging about our Europe trip.  Our last stop in Spain was Barcelona, if you go to Spain you must stop there.

Highlights of Barcelona: Sagrada Familia, bike tour through the city, taking a cooking class, and one of Dan's favorite stops Camp Nou the home of Barcelona FC.

I have to say Sagrada Familia which designed by Gaudi was probably my favorite.  It was so impressive!  The architecture was amazing and its one of the must see churches in Europe.  If you don't believe me, just look at these pictures...





The church started construction in 1882 and it is still not finished.  Apparently, the goal is to finish it by 2026 which would be the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death but some are skeptical.  If it is ever finished, I'm definitely going to see it again.

Here are other pictures from our stay in Barcelona:

Bike Tour - we did one in Paris in 2010 and loved it so we decided to do another one in Barcelona.  It's a great way to see the whole city.

Casa Mila - Another work of Gaudi's


Cooking class - we learned how to cook a traditional Spanish meal and it was all you can drink wine!


Camp Nou - Dan read every sign and display in the museum.  Every soccer fan would love this place.  It's pretty impressive that this stadium was built just for Barcelona FC.


Park Guell



Two weeks in Spain was amazing, but the last week of our trip was my favorite.  Next stop..GREECE!
