Photos of Barcelona

We had a chance to go sight seeing this weekend.

We went to the Sagrada Familia, a church that was designed by Gaudi. It began construction in 1882, and is still under construction. This is an amazing building.


to the Olympic Stadium (the Olympics were held here in 1992),


and to the nearby botanical gardens,
and to the Museum of Art of Catalunya. This gigantic building houses all the Catalunyan art you could ever want to see. Catalunya is the state or province that Barcelona is in. People here almost consider it their country, and are very proud of that heritage and, apparently, their art.
From the front of the museum, you get a pretty good look at Barcelona and a great shot of what has become Alexa´s signature jacket.
