¡Barcelona Tres!

Here are some more masterpieces that Gaudí designed in the city. When we asked our DU professor in class how much it would cost to live in one of these babies, she replied, "Millones y millones." The hostel had to suffice.
Casa Batlló
Casa Mila


Gaudí-inspired tiles that dot the sidewalks of all the main sidewalks
After we ate a big lunch, we walked down Las Ramblas, the famous street in Barcelona that's covered in a canopy of trees and lined with all kinds of stands and shops:
Succulents!!!
One of my favorite stops of the day was the market:

We walked around a bit more, ventured into a few weird shops to bargain for Barcelona F.C. jerseys, and did a little shopping. 
We stopped for a few photos by the cathedral:
  Then, with throbbing feet and sweat-soaked, dehydrated bodies, we trudged back to the hostel to relax and shower before heading out to dinner for some yummy seafood tapas!

Other sites:
F.C. Barcelona Stadium
SUCH an amazing trip!
