Barcelona, Spain

We went to Barcelona! We didn't do it alone though, we went with the Elseas. It was awesome. Barcelona is located on the Mediterranean Sea. On the first day we were there we went to La Sagrada Familia. It is the Family Palace. It was made by a family that wanted honor. It had a mix of dark brown and lots of happy colors. At the front there were four straight up poles that looked almost as tall as the whole building. That night we went to the Barca Game!!! It was so amazing. If it helps to say this, Lionel Messi is on the team. We went to just the perfect game (match) because Messi scored a hat trick and beat the record of goals that players on the Barcelona team have made! OMG. It was Brock's dream to see. We also went to the Picasso Museum. Pablo Picasso was a very famous painter. We saw so many amazing paintings. Some of my favorite paintings were of a portrait Picasso made of himself. Another was of an old man in a beret. In one of the rooms there was a big chandelier. We also went to a big aquarium. Inside of it we saw: sharks, eels, puffer fish, zebra looking like fish, squid, sea horses, and many more fun types! Something I was fond of was one of the types of sharks. It is called the Black Tip Shark. The reason is because if it stopped swimming it would drown and die. We saw baby fish and star fish too! What a time!

  2. That was a fun day, wasn't it (except for being a little cold!)?!?! I loved seeing you skype with your Montessori class from La Sagrada Familia--- it's so neat that you are able to share all your wonderful experiences with them and stay connected:)
