Barcelona in Pictures

Tuesday, July 5, 2016

The last stop on our cruise was Barcelona. We decided to stay a few extra days there, and so rented an apartment where we stayed with most of the people who came on the cruise with us, along with some dear friends who flew in just for the Barcelona portion of the trip.

I liked Barcelona. It's a very cosmopolitan city, and the architecture is interesting and lovely.

The influence of modernist architect Antoni Gaudí is all over the city, and there's a Gaudí museum there, as well. I wasn't interested in that, but Brother JR - who is an architect - went and enjoyed it. 

La Pedera
I did spend one day shopping with Sister Stacey, our friend Darla, and Marina, the daughter of the friends who met us in Barcelona. Because SHOPPING.

The shopping district

We also went to a Flamenco show one evening. I'm not a huge fan of Flamenco style singing, but it was interesting, and the dancers were amazing. Sister Stacey and I decided that if you want to ensure you don't have cankles in your fifties, then take up Flamenco dancing.


Even the skyscrapers were visually interesting
The food was also amazing (OF COURSE). I think I ate more olives on this vacation than in the previous five years.

One more city on our European vacation!
