Sorry, I still don't have a way to put pictures on. But I will put some on, I promise.
We went on a Gaudí tour yesterday (meaning Saturday). We saw, among other things, the Casa Milà and La Sagrada Familia. I found Sagrada Familia awe inspiring. It was so amazing. His style is round. I'll put up a post about it when I get back. We spent a long time there.
Then I sent Dad on his way and I went to the Bookstore: La Casa del Llibre. I bought Harry Potter in Catalan, books 1-4, book 4 of HP but the british version, I got the little prince in Catalan, German and Italian, I got a catalan dictionary and a picture book of La Sagrada Familia. I was quite happy.
Later on we saw dancing by Catalans in the street. It's the native dance. It's really cool. I'll post a video about that two. It was hard to get a good video of the crowd because of the two naked men. They were icky. The old guy had tattoos everywhere. Bizarre.
I bought a Waterman fountain pen that's very sleek. I just can't get it to write. Hmmph.
Last night we had tapas. It was fun.
Today I had lots of yogurt because i didn't get any yesterday. Then I had yogurt gelato. Yum.
Today we went to the Picasso museum. It was interesting to see his progression as an artist. He was amazing as a young (14ish) painter.
Then we wandered around and saw the big Columbus statue then the Mediterranean. Today has been a little damp, so it was a real Mediterranean afternoon.
There's more, especially with pictures. But the computer's gonna kick me off.
Tomorrow in the early morning we're off to Madrid!!!
Here's to more yogurt!!!

Hooray for yogurt, tapas and Catalan!
Dang it! You got to see them dance? I spent two years near Catalunya and I didn't get to see them perform. You are so lucky.
