I may be showing my ignorance here, but I'd never actually heard of Antoni Gaudi until I got to Barcelona... I've been missing out! He designed some of the coolest buildings I've ever seen along with a church (The Sacrada Familia) that he worked on for 45 years designing and will still take another 25 years to finish building.
The Picasso museum was pretty cool too. I really like Barcelona, its lovely and warm and it has a great vibe, full of energy and enthusiasm. Las Ramblas is the main drag and is an icon in itself, loaded with human statues, capoeria demonstrations, pet/flower stalls, magicians, cafes... its a pretty cool pedestrian area and its nice to sit and watch people enjoying the company of others.
I head off to Paris tonight on an overnight train, which will be nice since I got kicked out of bed at 4am... long story and not entirely suitable for small children.
Anyway, hooray for the Maths-ys who are back in Canberra along with the Smovers I assume... hope you guys had a good tour, and farewell to Rich who will no doubt be working in the galleries when I eventually come back, a wise and wizened woman.
