Barcelona: The Longest Day

Our first day in Barcelona wasn't really the longest day, but it felt like it! It was here that our "Yea we're in Europe" adrenalin died off and we needed rest. Thankfully, we all realized it, and so we built it some R&R. Making for a fun visit to this city.







Off to our car...



I do think I look a bit tired here. :)



Las Ramblas by night...this street attracted all walks of life and became the best place to people watch. We stayed right on this street, amidst all the activity.



During the day on Las Ramblas, there are various "statues" that will begin to move about if you pay them a Euro. This one caught my eye.



We waited at the bar for the perfect outdoor table...



And after we got seated, it began to rain!



We "corked" our wine with a napkin and took it with us.





It was about 11:45 pm at this point, and albeit delirious, we also realized we were tired. So we began that much needed R&R and slept...and slept...and slept. We woke up at noon the next day!





The one famous church we visited in Barcelona was La Seu. I didn't take a picture of the outside because it was covered in scaffolding for renovation...not too pretty.



We found the light show one night after walking and walking. Only AFTER we gave up did we run across it...and then we thought to ourselves: How on earth did we miss finding this! It's huge!
