Sagrada Familia

 Finally toured inside Spain’s most popular site, Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia. On my bucket list ‘forever,’ Quite stunning, didn’t disappoint. Walked down narrow streets, found some thrift shops, and amazed at the architecture.  Took bus to the beach; cocktails at Hotel W, watched the waves of the Balearic Sea. Really nice day. (Glad I chose a 10 day trip.)

Observations: Cars stop at red lights (seriously different than Charleston.).   Servers don’t expect tips as generous as we give in U.S.

Park Guell:  Gaudi’s art is everywhere! So much mosaic! We rode hop on bus there; city bus back. We noticed at buildings corners, they are rounded, not a sharp corner!  Mopeds, scooters, bikes, cars, taxis, buses everywhere. Narrow streets; many cars have side scrapes. Went to Gothic District tonight; enjoyed cocktails in a little bar.  I walked 18,539 steps today!

 Les & I went separate directions this morning: she-Museum of Modern Art & I went to the historic Maritime Museum. We met back up & walked the visitor port area, lunch. Metro back to apartment…. Siesta time!   Found a healthy food restaurant  & enjoyed a Flamenco performance at City Hall,  Observations: no pick up trucks, dinners are usually 8pm and much later. Many local stores/restaurants open at 5:30pm!
