First Stop: Barcelona

 Ah Barcelona. This was the first stop of my fall break. It felt like home. It was sunny and 70s in late October so we couldn't help but to bask in the sun. We visited La Segrada Familia, a famous church designed by renowned Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. The next day we rented bikes to cycle around the city. Only towards the end did I try going down stairs and almost died. We were able to see so much of the city on our bikes and in the end, my bruised leg was worth it. On the second night, everyone from our group went out for dinner at a Mexican (not Spanish) restaurant. Incredible.

They had live lobster! Yum!
