ברזלונה

So Barcelona was amazing. I had such a great time seeing all of my friends in such an amazing city.

The city is so cool. I was actually surprised how metropolitan it is. Not to mention how big it is. We stayed at a very nice hotel on the outskirts of the city. This was the only bad thing about the hotel that it was so far away! But the public transportation was very easy to use which was nice. I saw such great architecture fro Gaudi. I saw La Pedera from the double decker bus tour. That was a lot of fun and a great and cheap way to see the city. We bought a ticket for the day and then you can get off and on at the different stops around the city. I also saw the Temple de la Sagrada Familia, the holy family church. Its the huge cathedral that Gaudi didn't finish himself and its still under construction. We also went into his Casa Batllo. That was pretty cool. Its like a dragon or lizard and in the inside all the walls are painted like scales. The food was awesome. I was actually really surprised on how much veggie friendly food I ate. The sangria was also very very good. It was a lot of fun walking down Las Rambas. Its the main strip that in the middle is a pedestrian walk way. We also wondered around the Gothic quarter. I really really liked this part of the city. Our trip would not be complete with out a visit to something Jewish... So we went to the former Major Synagogue of Barcelona. It dates back to the Roman times. It is also the oldest synagogue in all of Europe! Today it is not a functioning synagogue. It is only used for religious proposes for spacial occasions like bar/bat mitzvahs. On the same day that we went to the synagogue, we also went to the huge cathedral (i forgot what its called). That was also very interesting. I have never been inside a cathedral before so it was very surprising. The architecture was very beautiful. We took a scary elevator ride up to the top to the roof and got an amazing view of the city.
