Thurs Feb 22 Barcelona






 Last night we said adios to the rest of our group.

I am constantly amazed & surprised by the examples of modernism in the architecture everywhere.  Very  amusing!  Today we vowed to take it easier. We slept in and went out at a civilized time!  

1st order of the day was to see the Gaudi house:  casa de Mila. Absolutely fascinating. I sure would not wanted to live there but it’s really one of a kind. I now see where Disney got inspiration for many places in Disneyland. And the star wars soldiers like Darth Vader. Very interesting!  

We then had a light lunch & returned to apt so I could pack. On our morning walk we spotted a spa on paseo de gracia— a major boulevard near our apt—- where stores such as Gucci, Lauren, Prada are. We found they had availability for massages and we couldn’t resist!  What a good decision—- to relax & unwind. Bueno!  

We had an interesting dinner in a place that was a very upscale food court. I had a Spanish version of eggplant Parmesan, and it was quite yummy. 

I need to sign off now to get to bed because I have a 615 car to the airport. We’ve had a good trip. I’m glad I came. And looking forward to getting home.
