Diary #01

 I am in Barcelona right now and will be telling you about today. In the morning, I woke up to the sound of the pilot talking to us over the speaker that we were about to land in Barcelona. After a few minutes, the plane started to fly in circles. There was a "traffic jam". As soon as my mom and I got off the plane, we rushed outside to find a taxi. When we got to our hotel, we called my dad to come down from his hotel room. As soon as we went to our room after a HUGE hug, I was disappointed. Our room was SO small!! When my dad noticed I was disappointed about our room size, he decided to show me his room he'd been staying in. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO small! Even smaller than our room!

 Once we moved our stuff into our small room, we helped my dad get all of his stuff out of his XS room and into our small room. When we were done with all of that, we went to a church, the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) that a famous architect, Gaudi built. We walked around with our group and tour guide. When our tour was finished, we walked around again and admired it until our legs, knees, shins, ankles, and feet hurt.

 Afterwards, we went to the La Pedrera (Casa Milla), also built by Gaudi. This one also had lots of tiles but it also had broken glass bottles. I thought that the most special part about the La Pedrera was that it had tall structures on the roof which made my family think of people wearing a knight's helmet. I thought the view was amazing. I could look over ALL of Barcelona while I was up there!
