Back in Santander

The trip to Barcelona turned out to be horrible.


Just kidding.
I had an amazing time. So much was seen and experienced that I might have to spread this out over a couple entries. I have some amazing pictures though. Can´t wait for you all to see them. One of the big highlights of the weekend was going to a soccer game for the best pro team in Spain at the biggest staduim ever (F.C. Barcelona versus Real Sociedad). It was AMAZING! But there´s so much more to tell. And I don´t think I can tell it all today. But...I will space it out over the next few days. For now, I´ll get a few up.

Sagrada Familia 1
The Sagrada Familia is AMAZING. There´s no good way to describe it. You´ll hopefully be able to see what I mean from the pictures I took of it.

McDonald´s in Spain
Yeah...this is my first fast food in a while. I was nice...not gonna lie.

Parc Güell 1
This Park (and the Sagrada Familia) was designed by Antonio Gaudi, a super talented architect. So much of his stuff was here in Barcelona

These were the best views I got of the city, they were from inside Parc Güell, which was on a good sized hill.

On the Lion
Here´s a lion that was in front of the Christopher Columbus monument. I´d like to see this one used in a poster for the upcoming Narnia film...The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Ok, there´s a lot right there, but that´s just the tip of the iceburg.
I have a ton of written details and mini stories just waiting to be told, but at a latter time. I gotta get going. Laters.

Dude,
GREAT pictures. Parc Guell is unbelievable! Hope things are well with you. Sounds (and looks) like you are in heaven! Can't wait for you to get home and share more with us. Make sure you carve out some time to hang out with us when you come home (I know your plate is gonna be pretty full, so no pressure there.) You are in our prayers each day. Blessings man. (By the way, Buffett was AMAZING!)

Son,

Amazing Stuff, looks like you MAY be having a good time. You're making it pretty hard for us back here in the world of "go to work everyday!" I'm really happy that you are getting this experience and I think it is way cool that you can send us pictures on line. Keep them coming.
