Picture 74062 - me posing in front of that lit up parliament building thing, originally uploaded by John Foong.
(picture - me in front of this old building they light up during summer, incredibly so!)
This place is unbelievable. Apart from beaches, a huge mall that leads from the city all the way to the harbour (La Rambla), some of the most unconventional architecture in Europe (this genius guy called Gaudi made all these buildings based on natural art forms – like lizards and caves and stuff), and a non-stop night life – we ate dinner around 11pm each night; it’s a place with fascinating history.
(Short soliloquy: I never knew I’d get so much into architecture and history, but I think traveling in Europe makes you do it. I even started reading history books each week – I think I read about 10 books over the summer!)
Another highlight was seeing FC Barcelona’s football stadium – the largest (apparently?) in Europe at 120,000. Ronaldinho sends his regards …
