There's an amazing market just down the street from my hotel called the Boqueria. They have all kinds of fresh fruit, vegetables, juices, meats etc. They also have an impressive selection of candy. Jesse and I decided to explore a few days ago. We first bought a bunch of fruit here, and then started walking around the city. We passed by all kinds of shops, restaurants and buildings. We walked around for a few hours, and then ended up getting drinks at a place called "la Rosa Negra." After, even though we were hopelessly lost, we found the metro and got back in fifteen minutes. That's what I love about this city. The metro is so easy to navigate! Thank goodness for that.
Yesterday we went to Güell parc. It was designed by Gaudí, and originally was supposed to be a residential area. I wasn't listening too much to the tour guide (oops), so I really don't know much more than that. The park was spectacular, and once again my pictures just don't do the park's beauty justice.
We had a full tour of the city yesterday, but my pictures came out HORRIBLE. Most of them were taken on the bus, but it gave us a good idea though of different places to go. Hopefully I'll be able to hit up all the different places that we saw and get good pictures.
