So this week's highlights, I would have to say, ends with an intense football win of FC Barcelona against CD Numancia in Camp Nou stadium. In a crushing win of 4-1, Barca wins over Numancia with all goals made on the 2nd half... which I might add if you look carefully behind the scoring goal, are our faces... as we had seats 3 rows behind the net. Never been to a barca game? On Saturday night, it was almost as if every barcelona citizen whether Catalan or American, seemed to be one being cheering for the team they love. Diverse and cheerful, a football game in Barcelona is a must.
Sadly I have yet to come up with a 'theme' for my Barcelona blog. Til then, it will just have to be a journal of my travels I guess? Over my travels, we have of course, seen many experiential things. Those things would include our visit to no other than Antonio Gaudi's Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, Sagrada Familia, and last but not least, Santiago Calatrava's Telefonica Communication Tower in Montjuic. Approaching architecture such as these from its exterior, has made me realize the greatness of scale; which the books had forgotten to describe to us. Before I mislead you further, we didn't get to venture inside in any of Gaudi's buildings... we had planned to go inside Sagrada Familia til we found out that a hurricane wind had closed down the tower access. Because of this, we were lucky enough to see Calatrava's communication tower at sunset, giving us prime views of Barcelona. 
Coming to a close, we were able to visit Torre Akbar and an interesting Barcelona Hotel. In both cases, architecture's scale has again absorbed me. With that, good night.
