Park Guell & La Sagrada Familia

Yesterday was another exploration day! Started with Park Guell, designed by Antonio Gaudi -- it's really awesome. He didn't do any leveling or grading and worked completely with the surrounding environment. It's also almost completely covered in mosaic.
The view when you first enter Park Guell.
Me again.
Ceiling -- there are colorful mosaics scattered in with all of the traditional cream tiling.
Tunnel. I have no clue how they managed to create all these archways . . .
Random headless performer . . .
View of entrance to Park Guell.
Me! Be sure to notice the awesome red twisted glass necklace I bought at a street market -- it's a snake.
View from Park Guell! That's La Sagrada Familia on the left.
Highest point at Park Guell.
Lizard Guard
Gelato by La Sagrada Familia!
We didn't actually go in today -- we were exhausted from the walk to and around and from Park Guell. Save Sagrada for another day . . .

More adventures to come!
