Barcelona- the city of pickpockets and Gaudi!
Well my final hoo rah from Budapest was a little excessive and I arrive to Barcelona early in the morning nearly a zombie.  Im sick of sightseeing, sick of drinking, and dont have the energy to meet new people.  Well I end up seeing many amazing sights, met a big group of people from allover the world and saw the nightlife.  I think it can sometimes be more work to avoid these things than to just let it happen and enjoy it.  And I really enjoyed myself.  Im weary and a little bored with Europe, but I have a few great places to see and I must keep going.  Barcelona is known for its beaches, art and architecture, and of course pickpockets.  From all the stories I have heard, I figured it was pretty much a requirement that you get robbed of all your possessions.  I walked the streets with a death grip on my purse constantly watching everyone around me and glaring at the suspicious. Maybe a little excessive but it did keep my possessions MINE. No, I did not get robbed and I do feel lucky.  My favorite part of the city, Gaudi.  Amazing architect.  His works are allover the city, most famous being the Sagrada Familia, a cathedral still under construction. My favorite, Park Guell.  No idea how to explain it but look up some pictures if you get a chance and someday I will have some posted.
