Joanie decided we should take it easy since we’ve been running pretty hard every day since we arrived in Spain. So…21,000 steps later…in a day we saw just about every side of Barcelona we have yet to see. The highlight of our “easy day” was Park Guell, a development designed for the rich to live in their own subdivision away from the riff-raff below. Unfortunately, the development never took off but the planner convinced his buddy, Antonio Gaudi, to buy a house there and the rest is history. Gaudi turned the spot into a place to be and Guell got his name on a sign…win-win.
We also took another walk by the beach and discovered that yes, they can squeeze more people into that small space. And we took a nice spin around the largest flee market (antique shop) in Europe…or as I like to put it “other peoples old crap that they don’t want anymore.” Yes…easy day.
I think Joanie is sincere today about resting because she has her swim suit on and is heading for the pool…we’ll see…I bet she makes me swim laps. It’s our last day in Europe and we both more than ready to be home.
Park Guell.
