Oh My Gaudi

I absolutely love Barcelona. Taylor has pointed out that I say this after every city, but i'm 70% sure that Barcelona is different.

So why did I love it so much? Here are the top 20 things I love about Barcelona:

mosaic tiles, tapas, paelle, palm trees, subtle hippy influences, gaudi, architects who copy gaudi, siestas, pants with really low crotches, Diagonal, fashionable women in their 60's, clean metro stations, patates bravas, late nights dinning, late night drinking, late night walking, good-looking locals, Picasso exhibitions annnd elaborately designed old wooden doors!




Parc Güell


La Sagrada Famillia (still workin hard)


Green shirt envy

Special thanks to my buddy Altan who showed me around for the first few days. Altan brought me to my first "real" tapas bar, and for that I will forever be in debt to him :)

Here are the only reasons, I could think of, to NOT go to Barcelona:

- if you absolutely cannot stand hippies
- if you hate curvy lines
- if your worst fear is being pick-pocketed
- if you were hoping to practice your Spanish (the local dialect is Catalan)

- Jesse Mah (is going to watch VCB and point out all the places he's been!!)
