Finally lived the dream: Barcelona Baby!!!

Throughout the years of studying Spanish, I have always learned about Barcelona and seen pictures of its art as beauty. Ever since the first time I saw Guadí 's work I dreamed of traveling there to see it and touch it in person. And on Oct 9, 2014, my 21st birthday I finally lived my dream of seeing Barcelona in person. It was beautiful!!!! Words cannot describe my emotions inside. It was like that summer fling with the boy you had a crush on for years. Your tummy has butterflies in it, a weird feeling but you can't help but love it. Your brain is always wondering what will come next; surprise, awe and adventure? When it happens the feeling that is triggered in your heart is a pull that wants to pull you deeper and deeper in love with it!!!

Now Starts the Sagrada Familia 

The Sagrada Familia is a church built by Antonio Gaudi. It has yet to be finished. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I can honestly say that it brought me to tears. I stopped to say a prayer in the designated area, and that's when it happened. It was a rush of God's presence and beauty that this church holds.
