As promised :)

This is the statue in the Plaza outside the Dali Museum
Also the plaza outside the Dali Musem
One of the faces of the Sagrada Familia (I apparently didn´t get any of the new face, so Jim and Judy, I´ll have to take more when I visit Barcelona again in a couple weeks)
A close up of the details on the face of the building
A view from farther away - this si the same face as above
In order from left to right - Katheryn, Josephine and Oliva - all in the plaza outside the Dali museum
A view of "the egg" from a hole in the stairway of the S.F.
A view down Passeg de Gaudi, from another hole in along the steps of the S.F.
A close up of interior detail in teh S.F.
The interior of teh S.F.
A Castle in Figueres . this is the walkway entering the main courtyard. I liked the light ont he stones. That lady walking is Jenny.
Left to right - Josephine, Annette and Jenny at the entrance to the castle.
A neat building in Figueres
Jenny, me and Josephine at one of the watch towers at the entrance to the castle.
The movie theater in Figueres
The sunset along the trail to the beach in Rosa
Swimming in the Mediterenean Sea . Annette up front, then Emma, Irena, Marc, Jenny, Oliva and Katheryn (I think)
A view from the top.- that dirt trail is what we took to get down to the rocks pictured above.
A neat sculpture Dali did with beach rocks.
The center courtyard at the Dali Museum
Oliva Katheryn and Josephine at the top of the hill in Roses
Another view from the top of that hill. That big plant to the right is the flower of an aloe-like plant. They´re all over the place.
The ceiling of the Dali Museum
The other half of the ceiling of the dali museum
Another ceiling of the Dali Museum
A neat painting . I took it for a man finding that there´s something missing in his life, hense the hole and the dying tree. But you can take it for whatever. That´s the beauty of Dali.
In the courtyard of the DM . Jenny, me, Annette, Olivia, and Josephine.
Inside the S.F. - mainly all scaffolding. they plan to be finished in 2030
A window in the S.F. - the glass work was casting beautiful light along the walls.
Outside of teh S.F.
The fountain show that takes place down the street from where I lived - it´s at the Museum of Catalan Art . behind the building of art is the olympic stadium, swimming pool and torch.
Parc Guell.
More parc Guell . Dali did these beautiful mosaics everywhere in this parc.
A day time shot of the fountains
Another fountain shot.
The famous lizard mosaic in Parc Guell.
THis is the other side of the lizard (see the red keyhole in picture above) . and it´s a photo of me :)
A view from above of the neat buildings in the park.
You can see the roof of the house where Dali spent some time, as well as a little mosaic
The stairs you have to climb up to get to parc guell - the street below is where we came from, and this was taken from near the top (we weren´t quite there yet)
A view of the S.F and Barcelona from atop Parc Guell
A ceiling mosaic at Parc Guell. I wanted more, but there was a fashion show taking place where I took this, so I only got one :(
Barcelona from P.G.
Annette, Jenny and I at Plaza de Sol. We stopped for a quick glass of wine and some guac - the guac was horrible, but the company was good, so we stayed for a few hours :)

Awesome pictures! Now I'm remembering how many steps it takes to walk through La Sagrada Familia, and the crab pieces in the rook with the shells. That woman at the end seems very possesive of you, is that Jennys mom? I'm glad you've made these wonderful friends and such, we'll have to hang out in London again, right after Germany! I don't have the picture posted, by my friends just had there baby boy, so he'll be about a month old when we arrive. Tschuess!
