I feel like everyday here in Barcelona, I am going on an adventure. I do not want to waste a second, so no matter how tired I am or lazy I feel, I make myself go out. And every time, I am so thankful I did! The last few days I have seen A LOT!! The more adventures I go on in Spain, the more I fall in love with it. |
The pictures above were taken at La Boqueria, which is off of La Rambla. Basically, it's this awesome covered market with every food imaginable! It was a perfect escape from the rain, which has been pouring for the past two days.
These are some random buildings on La Rambla. One of my favorite things about Barcelona is how almost every building is so intricate and unique. It is almost like they are a work of art themselves.
PS: The pride and joy we felt when us girls spotted that KFC was immense ha! We all started yelling and pointing, haha!

At the end of La Rambla is the ocean!! Even though is was a very gray, rainy day, I still loved seeing it. I should also that mention that the statue is of Christopher Columbus. (Another moment when us Kentucky gals got very excited haha!)
The round building was actually once a stadium where bull fights were held. Today, it has been transformed into a mall...so basically, it is the coolest mall ever ha! And the best part is that you can go to the very top, which has an incredible view of Barcelona!
I ended my night with getting lost while trying to find the cathedral, while along the way losing my metro pass. While that sounds bad, I actually had a fantastic night. I finally found the cathedral, where my host family was waiting for me. From there, we explored the church, walked around a little, and had authentic hot chocolate with churros (!!!). So in the scheme of things, it was a pretty terrific night. :)
