Looks like your trip is off to a great start! Thanks for sharing!

Funny story.  My husband and kids ran up to tell me that Ghandi was buried in La Sagrada.  I said,  "Erm no.  Not possible. Ghandi was Hindu. He'snot buried in a Catholic Church. "  

 

Kids confused Gaudi with Ghandi.  And my husband did not have his glasses on.

The Pride is on her way.

I really like our hotel (Granados 83) except that all the bathroom doors are glass and see through.   It leaves for little privacy when doing your business.

We have had that issue at some hotels over the years. Weird design choice and no good for families! I have a boy and a girl so super awkward changing/bathing situation!

Everybody and their dog seems to be heading for Barcelona-well maybe not the dog

We walked and walked and walked today. Did 4 or 5 attractions.  Cathedral of Barcelona,  Casa Mila, some super weird art museum that was supposed to be good forkids but was actuallyhighly inappropriate, Las rambles, Gothic area, a park next to the zoo.So pooped.  Soaking my feet in our little pool.

 

I highly recommend our Hotel Granados 83 or at least staying in the Eixample district.   We were down in the tourist area today and I did not like it.  Too busy. Too crowded. Way too many people.  Way too much traffic.

That is the neighborhood we always stay. We have multiple hotels we've stayed in over the past 20 years. My recommendations are always for that neighborhood. There's a new lidl nearby that's great for last minute purchases. Or multiple Aldis.

Cathedral of Barcelona.  Admission including going inside and to the top for some amazing views.

I don't ever want to hear another comment about fat Americans because this was on the menu in Spain at McDonald's:

[Eli_6]

Before and after. Omg, food in this city is sooooo good!!!  Only bad meal I have had was McDonald's.  (Don't judge me.  Younger son wanted to try Spain McDonald's.)  Every single thing I have eaten (except McDs) has been 10 out of 10.

Some pics from Casa Milo.  Really neat place.

Some of the artwork from the Moco museum.  Not my cup of tea, but I guess different strokes for different folks??? Some of the other artworks might get me banned if I posted pics.
