And so, with all trips, one must eat, and one must eat well. And so we did. Multiple dishes of patatas bravas, paella, and tapas. It's pretty safe to say that that was
all we ate.
Casa Batlló and Casa Milà were next on our list of to-do after settling our grumbling tummies. Rick Steves said that Casa Milà was more worth our while so we went to see it instead of Casa Batlló. Either way, Gaudi's works were amazing.
Christmas day and what do we do? Picnic in Gaudi's Park Guell. I choose to sit and eat with the others overlooking.. well not much other than dirt, trees, and birds (we didn't find the mosaic lizard till after lunch. In fact, for a while there I honestly thought we were at the wrong park. However, our trusty friend insisted that it was right so we stayed.) Faishin on the other hand insisted to stand and make faces at the sandwiches I made.
You can't tell here in this picture, but this wall was actually rather slanted. Perfect for sitting and lounging as we did here.
Merry Christmas from the group sans Faishin atop Park Guell. I think Ralph got tired of taking four consecutive pictures that he started to get... creative.
The beautiful artwork of Antoni Gaudi.
Alas! We've found it! The lizard!
The Magic Fountains of Barcelona rival those of Las Vegas' Bellagio.
And who in their right minds would wait in that long a line for dinner? Well if you knew it was for Les Quinze Nits you would too! (Ahem! Mark! hehe)
And then finally, our wonderfully exciting trip to Barcelona comes to an end. =) It definitely was better the second time around and not after a whirlwind tour of Europe. Now I'm eager to go back with the same people for another exciting trip to Barcelona.

It's so beautiful! I'm jealous!! I have to say though...that rice dish looks nasty-is that an eel in there? hahahaha
I've been watching a lot of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" lately, and now all I want to do is go to Spain and eat!
Lovely photos!
