Barcelona

I was lucky enough to have a class that was good enough to go on "Gita" (voyage/trip) this year. Our destination was Barcelona, and we traveled by "pullman" (charter bus.) Because of the travel by bus I also got to see some of south France. The sights are too much to describe by only words, so I will include some pictures of my trip to illustrate the beauty I saw. 
   

Pictured above is the "Pont d'Avignon." It is supposed to be good luck for couples to walk on, and there is a popular French children's song about the bridge. 


A picture of the streets of Barcelona, the night we got there. There was a street protest of students against school system changes that got a little out of hand. 


This is my class plus class 3E in front of the Sagrada Familia. They are still working on this building.... I'm not sure it will ever get finished. It is wonderful. Every side is wildly different, and very imaginative, which makes it look like a castle I would have wanted to live in when I went through my princess obsession. 


The two photos above were taken at the park Güell. It is the park that Gaudi brought to life. It is truly a magic place.



More to come soon! But I've got to go finish my homework.
