Napolitanas and Gaudis







More pictures from Barcelona. The left is a Gaudi and the lower center one is his Sagrada Familia (or the front facade at least). Pretty much our whole trip was focused on seeing all of Antonio Gaudi's work in Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia is his last one that is still not completed.


And at the top is my mom, Gin Gin, learning all about Spain and their different colors and shapes for things like mailboxes. Aww. I miss my mom and her cuteness. And her chocolate cravings. And I miss my dad constantly telling me "Hold on Beth, mom went into a bakery...again." My whole family acquired my weakness for napolitanas (even my dad!), which are chocolate filled croissants. It really was one of my 2 food groups for a while there.


I've been having trouble uploading my favorite procession night video. Shoot. I have another exam tomorrow (History of Islam in Spain class). Here's the low down on that:


711 - Spain invaded by Arabs. 1492 - Columbus discovers America and the Catholic Kings finally take back the last Arab stronghold which was Granada. And in between all of that...well that may or may not be on my exam tomorrow.




Landlord/roommate is back! He made a surprise 5 -6 am re-entry to our Madrileno palace this morning. With a tan and everything. There goes the bet. Well at least I'll have clean clothes.
