Hey,
I,ve been in Barcelona for the last 3 days and I've done some pretty cool things.For a start on the way to Barcelona, just in Spain we stopped in a place called Figueres and went to a art exhibition by a man called Salvador Dali, who does art called surrealism, which means not real,unusual,different and that kind of stuff. After the exhibition we got in the car and drove the rest of the way to Barcelona. In Barcelona we have an apartment suite, which has a lounge room, kitchen, two rooms with two beds in each, two bathrooms and one of those bed lounges that I can't remember what they are called. Also in Barcelona we saw church that has been built for 129 years and is still being built. It is called Le Sagrada Familia. Le Sagrada Familia had started to be built in 1882 and is thought to be finished in 2026, which is 100 years after the architect died (this is also called a centenary). The architect, Antonio Gaudi died in 1926, when he was hit by a tram and Gaudi's crypt is under the church. The day after going to Le Sagrada Familia me, Eden and dad went on a tour bus and sat on the top bit. On the bus they had earphones and lots of different languages so you could listen to the description of what you were going past and you know the history of it and all that stuff. We went past the Sagrada Familia, a house called Casa Batllo which has lots of pictures on it from tiles, a couple of medieval buildings and villages, the Barcelona Soccer Stadium and lots more.
I had a lot of fun in Barcelona.

Great hearing all your news Lil. I remember studying Gaudi and his architecture when I was in high school. It all looks so weird but beautiful.
