Hola amigos!
Our ninth day of the trip was dedicated to observing all of the architecture done by Gaudi, a famous Spanish architect. The first thing we saw was a church that he designed that has been under construction since the beginning of the United States Civil War, and it is anticipated that it will continue being built for another 30 to 40 years. The reason that it is taking so long to build the church is because they are not using any government money to build it. The outside of the church is extremely detailed and it towers over most of the other buildings in Barcelona.
After seeing the church, we toured the city and did some shopping. After that, we went to a park, which is where Gaudi lived, and he tried to make it into a community. The park was very beautiful, and it was filled with flowers, trees, architectural designs, and not to mention, a great view of the city. After seeing the park, we went to a buffet that is known for its huge variety of meats. This was one of our favorite meals, and we all got to try new and delicious foods. Once we were done eating, we got to experience the night life of Barcelona, which included music, entertainment, and lots of people.
For the tenth day of our trip, we spent our final hours in Barcelona at the beach, playing in the water and collecting sea shells. After the beach, we were headed back to Madrid on a high speed train. To our surprise, the train was actually pretty comfortable. Once we got to Madrid, we did a little bit more shopping and then had our final dinner in Spain. For our last dinner, we got to sample all kinds of different Spanish foods and it was a delicious meal.
The final day of our trip consisted of all traveling. First, we had an extremely long ten and a half hour flight from Madrid to Dallas, and then a three hour flight to Pittsburgh. We all had a fantastic time in Spain and we really enjoyed experiencing a new country and their culture and history. It was a wonderful trip!
Adios amigos!
