Barcelonaaa

Yesterday we went to the Sagrada Familia. Not my photo, but it looks like this:

It was begun in the late 1800s and then Gaudí took over and went in an entirely new direction. When he got hit by a tram and died, construction ceased for awhile, but starting in the 1950s it has been under constant construction. We paid 9€ to see the inside, which was pretty disappointing, but it makes me feel less ripped off to know the money is going toward the continued construction on the building so it can finally be ¨completed¨after 100 years.

We also went on a wild goose chase to find Gaudí´s Palau Guell with no luck. Later we found out that it´s likely we couldn´t find it because it´s being renovated through 2010. Oops. This is what it looks like ordinarily (again, not my photo):

Then we checked out the Mirador de Colon, which is a giant statue of Christopher Columbus that you can ride to the top of and take photos of the entire city.

Then we did a 1.5 hour jazz cruise with 1€ sangrias. The trip was really cheap and really relaxing. There was a live saxophone player and everything.

We took some photos of the Palau de la Musica Catalana as well, but we didn´t tour the building. These, again, are not my photos:

Today we´re going to the beach and after dark we want to take photos of the Torre Agbar, a giant phallus shaped building near our hostel. This is what it looks like at night:
