Day 11: Barcelona

Today we had a city tour of Barcelona.with our local guide. We first stopped at La Sagrada Familia,  Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece.  It was cool to see what has been added since I was last here 2 yrs ago. As the kids & I are staying an extra day tomorrow,  we booked tickets for Sunday morning to actually go in. Wait til you see the pics!!
Next stop was Parc Güell,  another Gaudí creation. The park wasn't super crowded so we actually got a group pic at the lizard/dragon.
We drove thru town a bit towards our last stops: Olympic Stadium and Montjuic view point. We actually got to hop off the bus and take pics at the stadium & of the Calderon.  The view from Montjuic was impressive! We even got a pic of all the kids from all the groups.
We headed back to Las Rambles for lunch & free time. After lunch we headed to the Picasso Museum,  just as it started to rain,  we found it...and the line around the block. So we skipped it and shopped some more before meeting with the entire group for dinner. The weather throughout the entire trip has been hot, but the last few days we've had to deal with scattered showers...ugh... so we're praying for good weather tomorrow.
