Barcelona Day 2

Tuesday, September 12.  Visited the Gaudi designed park.  The Gaudi House inside had a 2 hour line, so we skipped it.  It’s an extensive park with street venders present.  Nice place, but overcrowded even though they limit access.  You have to buy a timed entry ticket.

The rest of the day was dedicated to the Familia Sagrada church.  Still incredible even though we’d spent hours there two year ago.  We could tell what had been added.  Truly a wonder of the world.  I hope to return when it’s finished.

After returning to our apartment I researched the mystery of the buses, discovering that we’re just a short distance from the first building Gaudi designed.  Unsurprisingly odd looking.  It was undergoing some renovations in anticipation of becoming a museum in a few months.

An appreciation of the Familia Church’s size. (It pales in comparison with St. Peters!)

The white sections aren’t finished yet. Though the footprint is substantially smaller than St. Peters(!), it will be taller.
