Ok, so I went on this ¨bus turistic¨ tour of most of Barcelona. While I don´t remember all of the history given in the audio, I enjoyed it tremendously and thought it was worth the 22 euros. One thing is for sure: I will always remember the stop I made at La Sagrada Familia. It is an architectural masterpiece...so, so beautiful! Seeing this church with my own eyes in person was astonishing. To put it in perspective, I this meant more to me than seeing the Space Shuttle launch in person back in April. It´s too bad the line was so long that I didn´t get a chance to go in, but I still cherished the moment just seeing it from the outside. I wonder if seeing the Vatican next week will be even better...
Looked at the IPPW conference agenda, and activities go until 7 PM; there are also serveral social evening activities, so I might not get a chance to post another entry until late in the week. I did post one picture of me in front of el templo de La Sagrada Familia. Enjoy!
