Today´s travels:
Sagrada Familia -- probably the most famous Gaudí building (see the Wikipedia link in the previous entry.) Has the bizarre distinction of being in construction more or less continuously since 1882, with no real interior, and much of the exterior still absent.

Stopped at a very impressive chocolate store near the hostel, and bought a gift for Bencie -- hope she appreciates it.

Had a nice lunch at a Let´s Go-recommended restaurant. Then, Nathan and I headed off to the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) -- a surprisingly small main collection, but their highlighted special exhibit was very cool: weird, elaborate "sound sculptures". Will have to explain this more sometime.

Tomorrow: off to Rome! Pizza and gelato = yummy. I also hear there´s some ancient stuff of some sort. And some church or something.
