Our time in Barcelona has come to a end, it was very good. Yesterday we searched out Parc Guell, we thought it was a little parc with some Gaudi structures, well we got off the long metro ride and saw a rolling section of street that went up and down then a straight incline up, we walked on clueless and it just got steeper and steeper. When we finally got near what we thought was the top we spotted the 4 sets of escalators up higher ( just in the middle of the street), we went up those and got to a 3 story staircase. At this point we aren't sure if we will make it to this thing we dont even understand what it is. So we pushed on and wow clearly after all that climbing we were over looking the entire city all the way to the sea so we caught our breath and pushed on. It is so hard to explain but basically its a series of pathways and sculptured rocks that were once intended to be a community in Barcelona but never came to be. Most aresa were adorned with ceramic tile work and are curvy and mimic trees or tidal waves quite the experience. As we were leaving we realized we took a wrong turn on the way there and could of gotten in to the front part of the parc without the mountaiuos climb, oh well we got the great veiw point from the backside. We finished our day with Tapas, Corey ordered a plate of fried fish and when it came Coreys eyes went wide and then a concered look came over his face. The fish was ancovies with heads some bigger fish some with heads and all with bones and tails, small eels and some form of squid, HAHA I thought Corey wa sgoing to cry as all he said was "I cant do it" "I cant do this". Corey the big trooper did eat one of each thing and called it quits, I can laugh about this now but let me tell you if I laughed then he may have killed me. Today we went to the harbour and the beach did lots of people watching, walking and I got BURNT... although I totally deserve it cause i didnt do anything to prevent it:( Oh well its just getting me ready for Italy's heat, we are leaving tomorrow to go to Figueres, Spain its just a smalll place with the main draw being the Salvador Dali museum, we are both big fans so we are excited. After that we are heading back into France to Juan Les Pins on south France's French Riviera it is a beach resort so hopefully my burn will go away by then.
