During our last day in Barcelona, Donnie and I went to la Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's latest work-in-progress. He designed the whole thing before he died, but it's far from done. Most of the inside is a huge construction site, but we did see a few finished stained glass windows. They looked like typical Gaudi mosaics and were done in every color. I can't even imagine how gorgeous the entire place is going to look when it's done. We also took an elevator to the top of the chapel, where we saw a beautiful view of the city. We had to take the steps to go back down... there a lot of steps. A looooot. This is super embarrassing, but my legs are still sore! Guess it's been a while since I've worked out...
Anyway, Donnie and I also did a lot of shopping on our last day and went to Desigual, a cool & colorful Spanish brand. I splurged on a shirt and am too mortified to even repeat the price... but it is beautiful! We really did spend a lot of money though. We ate really amazing food for basically every meal. Secretly, I kind of missed my peanut butter & honey sandwiches, which is what I eat for lunch pretty much every day in London. Yummy and, more importantly, cheap.
Our flight got back on Sunday at 6 p.m., so you can bet going back to work this morning was definitely not easy! But I'm getting excited about a huge project I'm doing with a co-worker. The premise is, teens from 4 local youth centers (including ours of course) try out for a Big Brother imitation show that's going to be webcast live. There'll be 20 contestants and they have to stay in our youth center for 24 hours straight and complete challenges. It's going to be super intense, but fun!
Cheers,
Rebecca
