We walked into the first open restaurant we saw. The food was cheap and absolutely delicious! Despite my severe lack of Spanish skills, I was able to order a Durham which is similar to a burrito. It had chicken and lettuce and a million other things in it which was wonderful! After eating we hailed a taxi to take us to our hostel.Once we arrived at our hostel, we went straight to bed so we would be ready for our first day in Barcelona!
When we woke up we decided to go to see a building designed by Barcelona's famous architect Gaudi. His specialty was making buildings that look like they're made of sand! When we saw our first Gaudi building, we were amazed. It was gorgeous! The best part about Gaudi is that he did not just do structures like churches, he did everyday structures, like this apartment building! The whole city is filled with amazing works of Gaudi. After seeing the apartment building, we decided to take a walk down the famous La Ramabalas! This street was amazing. It had shops and stores and in the middle of the road it was like one huge market! 
People had news stands, restaurant tables, pet shops, art shops and flower shops all in the middle of the street! At the end of the street we had found water! As we walked further we found our first glimpse of the beach! Despite it being a bit chilly, we still played at the beach for a while!The next day we visited a whole park designed by Gaudi which was on top of the mightiest hill I have ever seen in my life! However, once we reached the top of the hill, we realized it was completely worth it!
There were so many structures that were simply works of art! It maintained the sand castle theme, however it also included many mosaic aspects which added beautiful, bright colors! The buildings were magnificent immersed in the nature of the park. The next day we went to the cite of the Barcelona Olympics. 
The stadiums are a big attraction to tourists. I personally liked the museum the best because you could see the whole city from the top of the million stairs! After the seeing all there was to see about the Olympics, we took an aircab to a Spanish castle overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Once I was there I decided that I want to be a princess with a castle overlooking the Mediterranean!
Our last day in Barcelona we went to see yet another piece of Gaudi architecture! This is one of his most famous works, a church that sincerely looks like it would be washed away if it rained. Even standing up close, I had a hard time believing that it was not made of sand! I thought it was incredible! I never made anything that cool out of the sand at Charlotte Beach! By the end of the day, we were at the airport waiting to take off to Alghero, Italy! That is an adventure I will have to write about another day though, because I need to go study for my last final which is coming up on Wednesday!
(PS. I already survived 2 exams and I feel pretty confident about them!:) )
I hope everyone at home is doing well! I'll see you very soon!!!!
