227

Saturday. I feel very sleepy today. I could have stayed until noon in bed but my kids had other plans.
Yesterday’s visit was very nice. I really enjoyed seeing my friend. She was still in shock that I left the man but she said I looked like a young girl, much better and happier. And that I don’t longer have sad eyes.

I’m really behind reading, I’ll catch up this week when my kids are at school. I have so much to do. I stress with the thought of it.

I finally downloaded the pictures but now I’m not sure I remember what everything is.
I took those photos on Tuesday. I didn’t stop to take them, I just shot them as I walked. I love doing that.
I had a map of the city and a few places I wanted to see before meeting my cousin. I got lost (of course) because some streets didn’t have the name and my gut told me to go on the opposite way, so at one point, I asked for directions.
Two nice girls told me where to go and said: “Go to the Estació de França, it’s very nice”. That’s a railway station in Barcelona, and since it was on my way, I did it.

The entrance hall

The ceiling, I love the huge hanging ball. I’m not sure if that’s a lamp or what, I just liked it.

The platforms.

What I really wanted to see was the “Parc de la Ciutadella” (a park). I’m not sure if I ever told you this, but for me, the nicest things to see are the parks. I rather go to a park than to a museum. If I had more time, I would have loved to have a picnic there. Amazing place.

The park has a lake with boats, but I actually took that picture because I loved the clouds.

Random shot

I have no idea how those things are called but I always liked them.

I love that construction, you could see it from the park. It belongs to the zoology museum.

Some monument

The fountain… Incredible

A close up

The mammoth statue. No idea why it was there. Maybe it belongs to the zoology museum.

A church. It was closed.

A couple of blocks away, there is the Arc de Triomf of Barcelona. I really wanted to see that too.

And just before I met my cousin, I saw the Sagrada Familia from the distance. I’ll go inside on my next trip (with My Prince, I already decided that).

Barcelona has it all!!
