We saw some amazing things on our first day. Chris picked us up at the airport. We went to his house and ate lunch and then hit the road seeing sites. We quickly figured out the metro and found it is so easy to get around Spain. We started at La Familia Sagrada. It's an AMAZING cathedral that has been in the works since the late 1800's and still has about 40 more years before it will be finished!!
I am in the blue jeans. Look how tiny I look compared to this massive cathedral!! And this is just a very small portion of the whole cathedral!! The pictures don't do it justice. It really is an amazing structure!!
We got to go up into some of the towers on this cathedral
This is another side of the church. Aren't these crazy looking??!
Andy and I both loved all the words found on the cathedrial walls such as prayer and sacrifice
We had to walk down this staircase. As you can see it was very narrow and winding.
This is just a portion of the inside. As you can see it was a spectacular site anywhere we looked!
This is me up in one of the towers overlooking Barcelona
The detail on this cathedral is AMAZING!! This is one tiny section. It's really cool. It depicts Christ's birth. On one side are the wise men. The other side are the shepherds. Christ and Mary are in the center.
This is the block of discord. Look at these amazing buildings!!
Our second stop of the day was Casa Mila. This is another structure done by Goudi the same person who started Familia Sagrada. The entire building is wavy. It flows like waves.
This shot just shows the curves all along this building.
Our favorite part of Casa Mila was the roof top. There is a great view but it is also covered with these interesting structures which look so fancy but all they were were a bunch of vents for the house! Just as the house was not built with flat walls the roof top wasn't either. It slopes up and dips down! We were in awe. We loved it!
