Viva L'Espana!

Spain (Barcelona) rocks.

The food is great, the people are really laid back and kind and to top it off, you are on the Sea. Being on the Sea would be a little higher on the list of cool if it wasn't around 50 all weekend.

I was working and Kelli flew down for the weekend.

We walked a ton and with the help of the extremely clean and organized subway system, were able to see pretty much every major tourist spot. To those in Detroit, a subway is a train that runs underground so you are not stuck in traffic all day. (sorry)

We saw Sagrada Familia, The Palace, walked down La Ramblas quite a few times, saw the Cathedral, the Olympic stadium and Casa Battlo. The buildings in Barcelona are the big highlight. There was a famous architect named Gaudi that designed Sagrada Familia and Casa Battlo. You can see in the pictures how we took his name to mean something similar to "a little over the top" in English.

On Saturday night we had dinner with a couple of friends from work and their kids. We ate at a restaurant on the Sea about 20 miles down the coast. There was a small wedding reception going on and the music was rocking. The kids were cool and very cute. However, Kelli and I have further emphasized that we are going to wait a little longer. Dinners are much quieter, but maybe a little less fun...

We will definitely head back when it is warm. I was there over the summer a couple of times but didn't get to see much.

It's Friday and I am off to meet some friends downtown at the XMas fest. Kelli has her work party tonight. Tomorrow we are going to what is supposed to be the biggest and best Xmas Market in Nuremberg. More pics to come!

Take care all
