Barcelona!

We spent the weekend in Barcelona, which was my first trip to Spain! Kara lived a summer in Spain a few years back, and had been to Barcelona before, but was really excited to get back to a Spanish(y) speaking country.

Spanish-y because I didn't realize it before, but Barcelona actually speaks its own language: Catalan. It's an interesting mix of Spanish and French, but most people spoke Spanish so we were fine since Kara can speak Spanish fluently.

It's a gorgeous city with some amazing architecture. Mind-blowing architecture really. The most famous of these being Antoni Gaudi, who creates buildings and structures that look like they're straight out of Dr Seuss. The most famous of which was Sagrada Familia which is a gigantic church that is actually still under construction. You don't think about multi-century church construction anymore, but here it is. Very very impressive!

The food was also great and we had a lot of fun the whole weekend!
