I Heart Barcelona

There is not much to say about Barcelona, you just have to experience it. That sounds a bit dramatic, but I do adore it. It's a city where you can just keep walking and get lost in all the different neighborhoods and alleys, as well as all the subtle, yet ornate details of every building, sidewalk, park bench, stool, fountain, street sign, bus stop, ...

The highlights include:
* all things Gaudi - where architecture and art truly meet
* the streetlamps - I am not too often that intrigued by inanimate objects. But the streetlamps were just beautiful. Streetlamps!
* the fact that even though it is a pretty touristy city, it didn't feel too touristy - I'm not sure how to explain this...but the vibes of the city were genuine

I think I was pretty giddy just seeing familiar faces too. It's fun being over here in Europe, but it can get exhausting try to make new friends and get to know people. Sometimes, you just want to chill or experience things with people in silence...or complete, unabashed enthusiasm. And I was able to do that with Brian, Dot, and Angel.

We were like four peas in a pod.
