Barcelona

We arrived safely in Barcelona at 9am this morning (3am CLT time). After running back through the airport to get our itenerary that was accidentally left on the plane, we took the metro to an outdoor market to find some cheap lunch.

After lunch we walked around town and saw some neat shops and the Christopher Columbus Memorial.

Next we visited Sagrada Familia, a cathedral designed by Antoni Gaudi. It was more modern than any other cathedral I've visited, but just as beautiful.

After dinner we visited Santa Maria Del Mar, a cathedral built in the 14th century.

To end the day we stopped at a cafe for some hot chocolate before heading back to our room. It's currently 9pm here and we are both ready for bed thanks to the jet lag. It was cold and rainy today; we're hoping for better weather tomorrow.
