Originally, several of my friends were suppose to visit me here in Krakow. but after much heated debate (not really), we settled for meeting up in Barcelona. Obviously, i wasn't complaining since i've always wanted to visit all the amazing architecture in the city and it certainly didn't disappoint! here are some (well, lots) of pics.
Day 1: eating and walking down La Rambla.
Day 2: Gaudi Day - super inspiring and amazing!!!
La Casa Mila
La Sagrada Familia
amazing unfinished interiors of sagrada familia
Parc Guell: MAGICAL - and if you know me, i dont' use that kind of language, but it felt more like being in a fairy tale than disneyland!!
Day 3: Montserrat - almost man-made looking rock formation of a mountain. strange but awe-inspiring.
monastery nestled in middle of the mountain. it really blends in. too many tourists, no monks to be seen :( 
riding the furnicular (never heard of that word before) going up the mountain
hermitage - we can barely survive 10 minutes, let alone days/weeks/months in these holes.
jamie trying to rock-climb in her burberry coat. (she's just lying down, actually)

our first stop was the famous La Boqueria market's lunch counter. intimidating because nothing is written in English but my super spanish speaking Jamie ordered fabulously as she pointed what everyone else was eating shouting "uno, dos, tres!!!" this one is little fishies (maybe anchovies) with fried eggs. yummy. too busy eating, little time to take pictures. 
me and cava sangria. 
array of tapas - look at those mussles!! 
paella
tapas bar hopping - more like cavas (local sparkling wine) hopping for hyelee.
food was just SUPERB - couldn't have asked for more! oh, the company was alright, too :)
we found a perfect car suited for hyelee's size - the SMART car - she insisted that MINI that was parked right next to it was more her but we disagreed.
