August 29, 2009 - Barcelona 2 - Morning





We awoke a bit late to a glorious day without a cloud in the sky. The hotel offered a full breakfast for €10 per person which John and Cheri gladly scoffed down. Betty and Christina elected to walk a bit and find something on the way.

The hop-on, hop-off bus seemed like the best way to get the lay of the land and we jumped on the green like. It was hot, hot, hot and by the time we reached Parc Guell it we were all ready to hop off permanently and find some ice cream!

Parc Guell is not to be missed. If there is one thing you can say unequivocally about Barcelona – it’s Gaudi! Examples of his work can be found all around the place; very fun to look at and all the rage in the 1920’s. Lots of aspiring musicians can be found in the park. We ran across a guy playing his drum, making the most incredible sounds that had you not seen it you would swear he was playing wind instruments and guitars! Cheri bought a CD. Yeah – touristo!!
