i´m here with the family on vacation in peniscola. peniscola is beautiful and i´m getting really tanned from going to the beach everyday. there is a beautiful castle here, lots of shops, and tarrazas, and restuarants. the past 3 days i went to visit jonathan and his girlfriend michelle, he´s a son of friends of my parents. barcelona was amazing. it can´t be described in words. i took over 300 pictures!! when i have time i´ll try to upload some of the really good ones onto the computer. barcelona is basically a tourist´s haven. there are chaotic streets, churches, monuments, castles, restruants, flee markets, shopping centers, mcdonalds, h&m, kfc, everything. in barcelona i visited: la sagrada famila, the castle of montejuic, the olympic stadium in barcelona from the 82´olympics and also the museum of the olympic stadium, picasso mueum, the street la rambla, shopping centers, and much much more. i took sooo many pictures i don´t remember what´s what, it´s all pretty buildings, statues, and plazas. the architecture in barcelona is breath-taking. i couldn´t stop taking pictures, everytime i put the camara in my bag i had to take it out again. there are beautiful buildings, and monuments everyone, and a statue around every corner. the lanscape from the castle montejui was amazing, you could see all the city of barcelona. la sagrada familia is also an old church which is being renovated, and the ceilings and the building where designed by Guadi, a really famous artist. it´s a pity i couldn´t take pictures inside the museum picasso, he is such a genious, when i saw the title of each piece of art, then i looked at the painting, i could see the emotion in his portrait, his reason for painting it, you feel as if you are right there experiencing the emotion of that person, that picasso is trying to portray. there was also the history of the painter his life in barcelona, paris, madrid, holland, which really inspired me to travel europe. every corner in barcelona is enriched with history. although there are many mueseums and important people´s houses to go into, the beauty of the city is not inside the building but on the outside. i visited 3 muesums: picasso, olympic stadium, and sagrada familia-Guadi. the architecture of the building are so detailed. many times i found myself taking a picture of a building on the outside, then zooming in a million shots in order to remember all the esquisite detail. the buildings in barcelona are adorned with naked figures of women, saints, angels, christ, historical figures, historic moments, etc. just by looking at the architecture of the building of barcelona you feel inspired, part of the rich history of spain. anyway gotta go i could talk for hours about barcelona. i rode a motercycle for the first time in my life, frighting and exciting, went out to clubs, took in the atmosphere of the city and more. after seeing all the architecture engrained with history around every corner i am curious to learn more about spanish history, about all the places i briefly saw. hasta luego for now, chao chicos y chicas, xox besitos y abrazos xox
