Spain

Lets start from last weekend, I have not written about Spain yet. So I flew into spain an airport called Memmigan it proved to be a most inconvenient trip over an hour from Barcelona and over 3 hours from Augsburg the airports literally ate a whole day in transition each way. It was a big city and it was quiet lovely and hot. My personal favorite site was La Sagrada Familia a church that has been under construction since the turn of the century and it is not finished. It is magnificent gothic and modern, but again it is compelling for it is intended to show the two most significant events in Christ life, in the eyes of most denominations, his birth and the events leading to his death. This is by far Gaudi's greatest.






This was the most spectacular building I have seen, with lovely detail and massive structure the entire city is defined by the power of the church. I even climbed the 430 steps to the top of the tower looking down over the entire city so lovely.
