+ Amy turns off alarm in her sleepy mode and we wake up at 11, missing the walking tour + We have about the same time as when we arrived in Barcelona the day before + Tried to buy concert tickets at Palau Musica de Catalana online but it didn’t work + Walked to concert hall (should have done this in the first place, less than 10 minutes away) and bought tickets + Went back to Kirin for another buffet lunch + Couldn’t eat as much this time around, but still very good! + Went to Sangrada Familia and examined every detail until we got tired of it + Amy really liked the fruit bowl spires + Brian really liked seeing the building being constructed + Got dizzy coming down the spiral stairs of the spire (Be forewarned!) + There was a protest going on outside when we went to the gift store + Amy bought a cool hook mechanism thing! Ask her to show it to you! + Walked to Casa de Mila (La Pedrera), got there at 7:45, last admission at 7:30 + Took pictures of the house in the sunset + Brian was attracted to the post-it note display in a design store next door so we went to explore that for a while + We had been noticing very enticing ads for Magnum ice cream bars, so we decided that it would be nice to eat a magnum ice cream bar on a bench along the Passeig de Gracia (big shopping boulevard where Casa de Mila is) + Just when we wanted to eat Magnum, we couldn’t find a single store selling it! + We walk several blocks, decided to go down a side street and instead find a vodafone shop, which directs us back across to the main boulevard to a bigger Vodafone shop that might help us with refilling our SIM card + Give up on searching for the Vodafone store and continue walking down Passeig de Gracia + At the street corner, Amy spots another famous Gaudi house across the street on the right that we saw in a post card (Brian had originally thought this was part of the Casa de Mila, but it’s actually Casa de Batllo) + Brian spots a newspaper stand across the street in front of us with a sign for ice cream + Amy points at the house and says to cross the street to the right + Brian points to the newspaper stand says to cross the street in front of us + Amy sees the sign, follows Brian + We buy two Magnum Almond Ice Cream Bars and then cross the street to the house + ate the ice cream bars on a bench in front of the house + Brian gets cold + We take out Rick Steves and decide to go to El Raco for dinner + On the way to El Raco, we see some other cool architecture (wire webbing that made a giant chair, some other buildings along Passeig Gracia) + At El Raco, we ate Rissoto and Veal, very good and not expensive! Much better than La Poma from yesterday… + Brian looks at the map and finds the closest Metro Station, but when we arrived, we realized that we were right back to Place de Catalunya where our hotel was! That surprised us + We took the metro to the crazy skyscraper (Torre Agbar) from the night before. When we arrived, it was really dark and quiet, and when we finally spotted the sky scraper, it wasn’t even lit up! + We hoped that it was lit up from the other side, so we walked around to the other side of the building, but it was also dark + Brian liked the building next to it more (the Diagonal Barcelona building) + Took some pictures and then went back to the metro, avoiding the “sketchy hooded youths” +
