For Bastille Day we had Thursday and Friday off, so it was our only chance to take a longer vacation during the program. Me, Jill and Luke decided to go to Barcelona for the weekend. Transportation to and from Yssingeaux is not the simplest, so Thursday and Sunday were largely spent traveling- cab to train, switch trains, take train to airport, airplane, bus to city center, and reverse on Sunday. We still had plenty of time to relax and see just a bit of the sights in Barcelona.
Our classy hotel room. The middle bed was about 4 inches shorter than the other two
First of many Tapas
Gaudi
Sagrada Familia. Awed.
We spent quite a few hours here. And supported the beach vendors.
STRONG Pina colada
Market fruit
Market seafood, trying to crawl away
Market peppers
I wanted to buy starfruit, but the market was closed when we went back :(
Super intricate chocolates
What a fabulous weekend! I've never been to Spain, but definitely want to check it out someday!
ReplyDeleteThe chocolates are pretty impressive!!
