Not All Gaudi



Barcelona, it’s not all Gaudi but we did see a lot of his work. We visited the Gaudi museum in Park Guell, the magnificent Sagrada Familia church and saw some of his architectural works on a ‘moderniste’ walking tour of Barcelona.

We also took a walking tour of the Gothic areas of old Barcelona and rumbled down La Rumbla (Barcelona’s Burke Street Mall) several times. Joy was fascinated by the pet shops selling chinchillas, squirrels and geckos.







During our five days in we also managed to visit the Picasso Museum, went to a Flamenco dancing show and drank too much sangria to remember all the other things we did.

We arrived in gay Paris yesterday (Sunday) andvisited the Bastille monument, the Eifel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. We attempted to visit the Paris Picasso Museum but it is closed for renovations until 2012.
