oh my goodness!! can you believe it?? last post for BARCELONA!!

Sunday: Day 13
BARCELONA DAY FOUR! last day :(

With a three hour nap under our belt, we started our morning really early.  At about 9am we were already taking the shuttle back downtown to catch a metro towards the Temple de La Sagrada Familia.  Daniel had mysteriously disappeared again though this time he left Lacey a note saying he would meet us there around 11:30 if we were there still.  We ended up getting there at around 11 and sure enough Daniel was there, so he joined the group again.  We discovered that the night before he had just decided to head into the city by himself and not tell anyone… oh well. Silly boys and their shenanigans.

Anyways, the Sagrada Familia was absolutely AMAZING. I cannot wait to show everyone all the pictures.  It was so colorful on the inside, and it had these stunning stained glass windows from the ridiculously high ceiling to the floor.  The outside was crazy cool too.  The entire front tells the story of the Passion through sculptures on the building.  They started construction in the 1800s, and they are not expected to finish it until 2026.  I REALLY REALLY want to go back then and see it complete.  I think that would be one of the coolest things I could ever see. 

We spent a good long time taking pictures there, and then headed to get some lunch.  We ate at a little pizzeria outside the Sagrada Familia. Like all the food we have had in Spain, it was awesome! So satisfying for our last meal in Spain.

After lunch, we split up again for the last few hours in port.  Clark had already left for his SAS trip, Daniel and Lacey headed to explore a little more since they had been on a SAS trip to Madrid while we explored the other days, and Heather, Kyle and I headed to the other mall to see what it was like across the boardwalk.  We all ended up heading back to the ship only a couple hours later not wanting to say goodbye to Spain, but completely exhausted and ready for a good night’s sleep. 

We all went our separate ways on the ship except Heather and I hung out and watched a movie/ fell asleep watching a movie in my room.  Dinner was hilarious because I am pretty sure we were all so tired we were delirious.  Heather was literally falling asleep on the table.  No joke.  We have multiple videos of evidence.  We also may or may not have stacked all of our snack time trash on her head while she was sleeping then too.  Who us? Never…. We’re such better friends than that!! :D  Eventually, we all got up to leave Sleeping Beauty, and Kyle decided to be funny and pick her up and carry her.  Only she was in a dress, and Kyle totally dropped her.  HILARIOUS.  EVEN BETTER: WE CAUGHT IT ON VIDEO. I am also pretty sure everyone else on the ship thought we were absolutely crazy.  But its ok.  We are crazy. :]  And on that note, we said goodbye to Barcelona, Spain and HELLO TO ITALY!
