I was in Barcelona in August. Kind of a crazy idea. It was over the top HOT. But I saw some cool stuff. Like Gaudi’s Sagrada Família. So far 100 years in the making and still building.

A Tour of the old city, Park Gruell, and the Juan Miro museum.

We spent a day at Monserrat. Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat is on top of the mountain. I was able to touch the Black Virgin inside the church. She is supposed to provide miracles. If only…

And then it was off to the Costa Brava and the Dali Museum in Figueres. On that tour I learned that Dali designed the logo for the Chupa Chups candy.

Our neighborhood in Barcelona.

Then it was a long train ride to Belgium. Stay tuned.
