Funky in Barcelona
I finally made it to Barcelona, after the little 1/4 inch of snow that I wrote about in my last post caused so much trouble as to cancel two days worth of trains and make my fly to Barcelona. I’m staying at the Ideal Youth Hostel, a place described in Lonely Planet as funky. Yesterday I went to the hideously beautiful Sagrada Familia church (still under construction after some 120 years) and today pounded my feet into the pavement visiting the Picasso museum, the beach (my first time to the Mediterranean), Parc Guell (designed by the same architect as Sagrada Familia) and took in mass in Spanish at Barcelona’s catedral. The Picasso museum was particularly cool because it had his early works, including sketches from when he was 11. It made me think that there might be a Picasso, or a Mozart (or a Stebila) in every 11 year-old.
