Day #140

A Day in Pictures with Captions:

Actually attended the real walking tour today and we're very glad we didn't pay to go into the Barcelona Cathedral the day before since we got in free today!

Grabbed some absolutely delicious chocolate con churros at the (supposedly) original chocolate con churros place in Barcelona, which had a plaque signifying the business has belonged to the same family for at least over 50 years

Bought a house (just kidding, it's actually part of this amazing used-to-be hospital called Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau with awesome architecture because obviously Barcelona has impressive architecture EVERYWHERE)

Sagrada Familia, which is incredibly STILL unfinished. We did not realize this, and thought they were just doing construction OOPS NOPE. But just take a gander at those colors coming through stained glass windows... The architecture was supposed to depict a forest, with the colored light bathing the floor and people with the colors of humanity while bright white light comes through the ceiling windows to show god's radiance and purity. I just.... How. Tell me how because I'd really like to know how you got to be you, Gaudi.

Not a great picture, but I made my mom stuffed zucchini for dinner to show off my cooking skills from England!

I hope you've enjoyed your picture tour of Barcelona, brought to you by the Browns!
