The week of October 15, we had midterms. Some people call it hell week...lots of sleepless nights but thank God for espresso! We flew out of Italy for the weekend to Barcelona, Spain. I really loved Barcelona and it was a nice reward after midterms. Take a look at what we did!
We rented bikes and rode around. It was a great way to view the city!
Some interesting trees down a side street.
Got our first dose of Starbucks. Italy doesn't have them anywhere.
The front of Sagrada Familia. Transformed by Gaudi in the late 1800s, and still remains incomplete today due to lack of private funding and some of the most challenging parts remaining.

One night we went to a dinner and dance show. The Spanish Flamenco is a traditional Spanish step dance with music. It was amazing how fast they can move their feet.
Park Güell a garden designed by Gaudi. One of the largest in Southern Europe.
Looking down at the entrance to the park.
The park is full of mosaic tile work.
A view overlooking the city of Barcelona.
The Barcelona Pavilion designed by Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 International Exposition for the Germans.
