gaudi gaudi gaudi

thursday afternoon we went to mary lou and marco's for a pool partayyy

& dinner

amy, melissa, and leslie

cool pool

it was so pretty!

here is the view from the roof of my villa
i feel like i might miss this

dinaaaaa!

dogs are peeks best friends

ok on to the good stuff

barcelona

we ate at hardrock cafe 

(terrible, we know. we miss america, ok??)

i love bbq

epic red

with a hamburger backdrop

then we shopped around at zara

super excited that there was a "home" section

except that means "men's" in catalan (barcelona language)

bummer

barcelona is funky

they just put cool things on their buildings

and it looks awesome

see what i mean??

walked down la rambla to the aquarium

we found a barcelona bench!

it's an adapted form of the barcelona chair

ps- it's margaret anne's twenty first birthday in this picture, woooooo!

and here we have the aquarium picture

pink

such a rebel

kate had a handheld gps

"back in my day.." leslie, amy, kaitlin you finish that phrase because i'm not qualified

gaudi's house!!

casa batllo

there are no straight lines in this house

i loved every part about it

back yard

crafty mosaics everywhere

natural lighting

he paid attention to every detail

even the handrails and window knobs

and here it is by night!

we ate dinner at this awesome place

called the beefshop

check out this bowl

and the best fried rice i've ever eaten

time out (chuckle)

kaitlin and i have matching watches

apparently they're the new thing

so, when these become popular, remember us

.*~*kaitlin & lauren forever*~*.

gelato

in the shape of a flower!!

street vendor

he's so cute

abby, back me up here

saturday morning we went to the beach!

it was a perfect day

there were a lot of topless women

it's a cultural thing

so i'm not posting pictures

then we went to the sagrada familia

been under construction since 1882

anddd won't be completed until 2025

when i'm thirty five years old

inside

ceiling

had to

we love gaudi

look at how different the materials look

that's what you get for taking centuries to build one church

reds love gaudi, too

reds also love to rollerblade

with red pigtails

and purple socks

sunday we went to the gaudi park!

basically any cool thing in the entire city was designed by gaudi

the park had such a pretty view of the whole city

perfect end to a funky trip

peace love barcelona

ciao a tutti
