Day 2 we met up with Mark & Tifiny Reed and their 5 fun kids. Talk about a great vacation! Barcelona is one of our favorite cities. It's so cool and funky looking with the crazy architecture of Gaudi dotting the streets. We took the train in from our rental apartment and spent the entire day on foot. The kids were great troopers as we hit all kinds of sights.
The Sagrada Familia is still under construction after all these years. Construction began in the late 1800's! Really this place is an engineers nightmare or greatest challenge. Taylor held a contest to see who could guess how many steps to the tallest tower...this created some competition and fun as we toured the scene.
Taylor wondering why they just don't finish this darn project!
This was a fabulous open market in the center of Barcelona. They had fresh fruits from all over the globe. We sampled lots of delicious berries, fresh squeezed juice and cactus plant...not many were crazy for cactus.
La Rambla is not a place to walk quickly. It is to be taken with great stride and enjoyment. We stopped to watch the performers - the birds and reptiles for sale - to enjoy the flowers, etc.
Taylor and Mark were the navigators. It's not easy to get a group of 13 people all over a major city, but they did it.
Lilly and Sophie found these fabulous Spanish flamanca dresses and shoes. They twirlled the streets of Barcelona bringing smiles to all the onlookers.
After hitting the Picasso museum we headed home...we were tired from all of that fun!
