July 21st - Sagrada Familia


Today we tried to leave early so we could beat the crowds at the Sagrada Familia Basilica, well we didn't really beat the crowds because at 9:00 the line was almost half way around the building but luckily the line moved rather quickly.





All I can say is it is absolutely amazing and it brought tears to my eyes to think that someone was given such a gift as the ability to design something so wonderful.
































I know this wouldn't be to everyone's taste but we were amazed at how he incorporated nature into his designs.

































He designed it so that the choir lofts could hold 1,000 people because he thought that music was very much a part of worship.















Pam and I waited for Roger as he was taking pictures of all the displays of design ideas Gaudi had.















On our way back to the apartment we stopped by the market to see what we wanted for dinner.  We could have fish,















or ham,




or maybe some rabbit,





or chicken.











We did like their bakery goods.










We even begged for some chocolate.











In the end we got just what I was in the mood for, Mexican food and a Pina Colada.  It was so yummy!




















That made us very happy.
