Barcelona: La Sagrada Familia, La Rambla, & Almost Park Güell Too

“The creation continues incessantly through the media of man. But man does not create… he discovers. Those who look for the laws of nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator. Copiers do not collaborate because of this, originality consists in returning to the origin.”

– Antoni Gaudi

Dear Antoni Gaudi,

I cannot wait to meet you one day.  You are a pure genius.  Your imagination and ability to bring structural heaven to earth has transcended time.  Your gift for bringing your mind’s vision to fruition seems to be unparalleled.  I stand in awe of people like you.

Crystal

Barcelona was fantastic, even better with my love.  La Sagrada Familia was utterly mind boggling.  La Rambla was a nice stroll.  I love water fronts.  Regarding Park Güell, I’ve seen it in picture books but not in person.  The last 5 photos depict our efforts to make it to Park Güell before it closed.  Alas, it was to no avail.  Somehow though, that failed attempt is one of my favorite memories of our whole European trip.  Love you babe.
