seeing the world through my camera lense

oh so much has happened since we last talked my dear.
i have been to barcelona and back and most important i have less then a month here to go, which is very sad.
barcelona is an amazing city, with amazing things to see.
we went to las ramblas many times and saw many street performers and one very intense tap dancer. the first day we spent wandering around the city. we saw the sangrada familia, a cathedral of carved stone the stretched up into the sky. we headed further into the city and found the arc de triumph. and no you aren't crazy, there is one in france, but there is also one in spain. we shopped and sat in little squares and just experienced spanish culture as well as we could. that night we headed back out to the streets and found the pier. feet over the meditteranean sea and watching the lights of a spanish harbour, something you need to do in your life time.
the next day we walked to guell park, which is where the architect gaudi lived. gaudi was into the mosaic architecture and had a plaza built up on stilts. it was beyond anything i had ever seen. musicians everywhere, and it was gorgeous. that night we went to see a performance were the fountain was timed to music and it was all lit up. only a few of us went and then we had to sprint to the opera. it was all different tango songs written by different writters. it was deffinitley a cultural experience even if it was a little boring. i stayed out late that night wandering the city rather aimlessly since it was our last night. the next morning we headed home back on the 5 hour train ride. and that was barcelona, i could have stayed much longer.
and now i will be leaving this place and seeing the rest of the world. i am not ready to leave but it is coming faster then i want it to. and one more thing i am going to IRELAND!!! EEKK!!
love you all,
