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.
