I just arrived in Granada so it's probably a good idea to give you the run down of Barcelona. Here is the brief overview of my week. (Sorry if this is repeat information!)
Monday - returned from Taize sick so I just wandered a little and slept.
Tuesday - Parc Guell, Casa Batlló, late lunch at Petra, more wandering.
Wednesday - cava tour, El Xampenet
Thursday - Sagrada Familia, Santa Caterina market (love!), long hike up to include Olympic Stadium, La Boqueria, Magic Fountain and tapas.
Friday - Cathedral, Camp Nou (FC Barcelona stadium), amazing menú lunch, beach, trenhotel to Granada.
Here are some highlight pictures from the end of the week:

| Sagrada Familia |
 |
| Main doors of Sagrada Familia |
 |
| Santa Caterina Market - coolest roof over the building, but I forgot to take a picture! |
 |
| Olympic Park - the Junior World Championships were going on at the same time. |
 |
| I swear I'm wearing a shirt, but I just hiked up that hill |
 |
| Magic Fountain - went with my host Miriam. |
 |
| Found a store that sells Toms and the whole alley was decorated |
 |
| Inside the Cathedral. I walked by it everyday on my way to and from "my" house. Took until the last day to go see it! |
 |
| This one is for the brothers. I went to the stadium for you. Love you :) |
 |
| El Setial in Barrio Gótico - best menú by far! It included this salad... |
 |
| this amazing salmon and another salad? |
 |
| Plus this delicious lemon tart and a Diet Coke! Seriously for 9€ = $10.80!!! | | | | | |

Then I decided it was a good idea to change in their bathroom and go to the beach. I tried going on this boat cruise, but it kept getting postponed due to big boats in the harbor :( I went back to shower and pack and lug my broken suitcase to the train station. Thank goodness I was greeted by this room.
Coolest experience! I experienced a bit of loneliness on the last day, but it's much better now.
I'll do a little more of a reflective post later.
