We started the day by going to Las Ramblas. It's a quirky and very touristy area of Barcelona. The last time I was in Barcelona there were tons of street performers. This time there were only a few. I had talked them up to Danny so much. I was sad he only got to see one or two. After that we went to lunch. At lunch Danny really wanted to try Paella which is basically just rice and fish. I got the same thing minus the fish. Mine wasn't anything to write home about...
After lunch we went to the Sagrada Familia. This was probably my favorite thing we did on the entire trip. The last time I was here the inside wasn't complete. This time it was (though the outside still has quite a few years of work left). We were nerdy and bought the audio guide. I'm so glad I did because I learned a lot about how it was built.

How he designed it. By putting bags of sand upside down. Weird dude.
Danny had a really tough time getting me to leave....
We then went to Park Guell, a very strange park designed by Gaudi. Lots of pictures below. Basically it's one big spiral. We started at the top and worked our way down.
After a very long day of sight seeing, we asked the receptionist at our hotel where we should go to dinner. She suggested La Dolca Herminia. I was shocked how reasonably priced it was, considering that it was a pretty nice restaurant with really good food. I had ravioli and Danny had steak. It was my favorite (well, maybe tied with those eggs in Paris) meal in Europe. Perfect way to end a perfect day in Barcelona! *I was so hungry that I didn't take pictures of my food. Whoops!
