Hello everyone,
Monday, June 28th was a walking day since we pretty much spent all of Sunday in sitting position on our long bus ride to Barcelona. We explored and explored Barcelona by foot, probably covering a good 7 miles. We started out in the ramblas, headed for the harbor, and negotiated the winding streets of the Bari Gotica (the older part of the city).
In the morning we were given a bus tour with an English speaking guide. She took us by the Sagrada Familia (Cathedral conceived by architect Gaudi and still not finished), Montejuic, hill overlooking the city and Park Guell (again a park and city respite gracias a Gaudi). (see photos of all)
Between our bus tour and our self guided walking tour, we stopped for more pinchos (bread canapes) and tapas at a restaurant just off the ramblas. The kids watched a replay of one of the soccer games. The next day we watched Spain versus Portugal (see Tejas´reaction on first photo). Everyone was very much into the game, routing for Spain, especially since USA had been eliminated after suffering a defeat from Ghana. (Ghana gano "Ghana won" I would make the play on words, since gano means won in Spanish. Nonethless, the kids didn´t appreciate it. Don´t blame em. ......
Now were at Costa Brava. Most of our team just went bike riding (see photos) the rest of us are shoppping for last minute souvenirs.
Hasta pronto
