For our last big hurrah here, we traveled to Spain. Barcelona to be exact. Had a great time. What fun to see Blaine in action as he conversed with the locals. The kids got such a kick watching their faces as they realized 'this gringo can habla!'We saw several buildings by Gaudi. What a crazy architect! His Sagrada Familia is by far the most famous of these designs, and it's out of control. On the facade is a dead baby hanging off a ledge (commemorating the flight of Egypt) and a tower that holds a bowl of fruit (harvest) and lots of other weird stuff.
Sunday night, we walked to a cathedral nearby, and arrived just in time to hear a classical guitarist perform. Knowing Blaine's love for guitar, you can imagine how happy that made him! We also stumbled upon a bull fighting arena where a bull fight took place just the night before. Our friends at PETA left a nice souvenir on the front gate. Looked like blood at first, but then we realized it was paint. Still left an eerie feeling.

I'm jealous!!
Sounds like Blaine was right at home....maybe Gaudi was hitting the Sangria when he designed that one.
When Brooke takes a spanish class we are there!
Carl, you need to just go. You both will have a great time. I was surprised how much of my HS/NM Spanish came back to me. Just do it!
