Back from Barcelona

We got back from Barcelona late last night, and are back at school this morning. The weekend trip was awesome-- we saw so many beautiful buildings and stayed in a nice, ultra-modern hotel. The cathedral Sagrada de Familia was absoloutely one of the most beautiful buildings that I´ve ever seen. Designed by the architect Gaudi, it is still under construction. The stain glass windows and spiral staircases were unlike anything we´d ever seen, and the museum alongside the cathedral was also incredible. We encountered many other tourists while shopping in the streets, and were surprised by the huge number of people in the city who spoke languages other than Spanish. Although Barcelona was great, it´s nice to be back home in Valencia with our host families.
