Me in Barcelona...finally!

by TravelerM - last update: Apr 3, 2006

Me overlook the city at La Sagrada Famillia
I have the mixed feelings about this trip. For one, I had longed for visiting this city for quite a while, and I finally made it. So, of course, I was excited to be there, especially saw the Gaudi's creation. Every piece of work was like candy to my eyes. :o) Other than him, I also found some other great artists in other museums. I was impressed.

On the other hand, I had some problems. My wallet got stolen and my credit card was charged a large of amount of money before I put a stop on it. Unlike other travelers, I had the chance to see what the police station there was like. To my surprise, there were quite a few visitors there and we told each other "stories". Right now I'm still dealing with the credit card company. It's a lot of hassel!! I'm pissed!! ! And I got some suspeciously chemical water splashed on my shoulders when I walked by a truck. The next day it developed some nasty allergy rashes on my skin, so I had to go to a doctor. These things more or less affected my mood when I was in there.

If you just get to Barcelona (in the late morning), and would like a not-so-heavy, quick-view-of-the-city route for half a day. Here is my suggestion (check "Things to do "). It's a route with good feedback from other views. :o)

 Maranda, this is a very entertaining virtual visit to Barcelona. I've traveled quite a bit, but have yet to find my way to Spain. Someday, we must do something about that. : )
