Oh my, to see it at night - must be so...majestic.

So much fun seeing your photos, jim brown.  You inspire me for Spain as a destination.

Candace - I am not the world-traveller I imagine you to be.  But Barcelona should definitely be a destination for anyone, simply for the Gaudi, Miro and Picasso.

The Sagrada Familia is really awesome.  I caught a nice bout of vertigo in one of the towers.

Whoa - going to the top of the towers was not even an option when we were there!  Now I'm jealous, Sean!  There were those beautiful spiral staircases, but they were cordoned off.  Just another reason to go back.   :)

These pictures make me even more excited to go myself. So pumped!

You are going to have an awesome time, Junior!  Looking forward to seeing all the things I missed through your eyes.   8)

Gaudi!
You said it, MT.  Now name the Hal Ashby film (hint: 1980s) he was mentioned in.  You are one of the few who will know this.

More Gaudi!!



The horror. The horror.

You and I are too much alike.  Jealous, however, of your night-time visit.

Uh, jeez.  I don't know much Ashby.  I don't think I've seen any of his 80's films.  Sorry, not a clue.

It was really terrifying.  The elevator part was bad enough.  I ended up crawling up and down the spiral staircases.

Really loved Barcelona though.  It's the only place in Europe I've ever been.

I'm afraid not.  Just a fear of heights.

Being drunk may actually have helped.  I'll have to try that next time.

Hey kids! I just spent two weeks with family in New Zealand. These are few from a bit of trekking I did (two different regions, but not in order).

Helluva place.

Wonder if those are the rocks my mum broke her ankle on.
