Corey Melanie Barcelona

Hey everyone, It's Wednesday night and we've been in Barcelona now since Saturday. We took a bus from Valencia; it was about 4.5 hours. It didnt seem like that long of a ride because the bus was really comfortable and the view was great.

We've been all over this city in about 4 days. Our first day we saw the Sagrada Familia church and much of Gaudi's other buildings. and later we tried to check out the ruins of a Roman temple and the city history museum, but both are closed on Mondays. Instead we just walked around the old section and admired the old building and shops. We were able to see the ruins the following day, and got to see the foundations of the Roman city Barcino, directly under the museum. Yesterday we walked up this huge hill to Park Montujuic (probably didnt spell it right). anyhow, it was very cool and very high above the city. The views were tremendous. We then walked down the other side of the hill and saw the Olympic stadium and the national Catalonian museum from the outside just in time for sunset. because we came down on the other side of the hill, we had to walk quite a ways back to our hostel. We're pretty proud that we've only used the Metro once in Barcelona. Our quads are Olympian sized. We walked a ton again today - this time West of the city up to a a hillside park of which famed Catalonian architect Anotoni Gaudi did much design work. We took the metro back down to the hostel and then caught The Watchmen at the local theater - in Spanish. So I'll have to see it again. That's all for now. We still have a couple more days here to explore, and we'll be posting pictures of Barcelona very shortly. Hasta Luego!
