Back to Barcelona

After days of lots of walking and stairs, I coerced Dan into buying tour bus tickets that take you all around Barcelona, with stops at all the major sites. It was actually the concierge at the hotel that convinced us that we'd see a lot more of the city if we did this. So instead of heading to the metro, we boarded an open top bus on a beautiful, warm morning, our last day in Barcelona.

Gaudi is like a god in Barcelona. So much of the architecture can be attributed to him and his work and legacy can be found in every nook and cranny.

One of Gaudi's residential developments...notice the curves

Gaudi's work continues in this cathedral which has been under construction for decades. The size of this is spectacular and can be seen from all over the city.

We spent a good chunk of time at the Olympic Stadium where the Summer Games where hosted by Barcelona in 1992. This is a view of the Olympic Torch.

Outside of the Olympic Stadium

Inside the Olympic Stadium...this place is huge and much more impressive than Rice Eccles Stadium (sorry Salt Lake) where we attended the games in 2002.

A final view of our cruise ship in the harbor before we head home.

The trip was so much fun! However, we were ready to get home and see the kiddos for sure. A shout out to my girls, especially Emily, for her playing the role of mom, dad, and caretaker. It was a much longer trip for them I know than it was for us. Love you guys!!
