as you may already know, i went to barcelona two weekends ago. it was such a good time away to just relax and see things! first of all, it was great to actually understand most of what people said because it's a language that i know. besides, almost everyone speaks english, which makes things easier (unless you are trying to improve your spanish...). i went for about 5 days, so it was definitely enough time to see the city. fun :)
i stayed with amanda, a friend of mine who i worked/lived with this summer with CSM in chicago. (p.s. i almost just spelled it chigaco. ha.) it really was a good time, though.
i think i ate more cookies that weekend than in the entire year combined, but at least they were good ones!
here are some pictures from the weekend.
this is La Sagrada Familia - a huge church designed by Gaudi.
it has been under construction for over a hundred years, and still not finished!

parc guell - the park that gaudi designed.(the same guy who designed la sagrada familia)
i never realized how beautiful landscape architecture could be!
barcelona. and the sunset :)

it was a good time. we even went to the ywam church there, so i got to meet even more ywam-ers from around the world! and it was fun to be in a church full of young people.
kay, that's all.
i leave here in less than four days. crazy...
