First Day in Barcelona

Time Zone Changes are Tiring...

We left for the airport at 2:00 pm on Sunday, and right now it is 8:50 pm on Monday. I am lucky enough that I can sleep like a baby on planes, so I got 6 hours of sleep last night, but Mom and Kayla can't sleep on planes so they have literally not slept in the last day. We arrived in Barcelona and immediately went on a private driving tour that my mom was smart enough to book. Check in at the hotel was not until 2:00, and since we landed at like 8:30 we needed a way to kill a few hours and get transported to the hotel. Our tour guide was a super sweet guy named Jordi, and we got to see Monjuic, some of the stuff they built for the Olympics, Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlo, Parc Guell, and more. We also got a few super pretty views of the city and the beach. My favorite by far was Parc Guell, and there are some places that we might go back to.

We were all super tired so when we got back to the hotel we just took naps for a while, and then we went to dinner at a cute restaurant, where I got to try my first Spanish ham and sangria, which is way better in Spain. Afterwards we walked around the streets near our hotel, and then we went back. We have a balcony in our hotel room, and the following pictures are all pictures I just took from the balconies. We are right across from the cathedral, and the view is perfect.

Just seeing the first few glimpses of the city already makes me so excited for the next few days here.

Talk to you again tomorrow!
