A walk...: Weeks five and six

I have been neglecting my blog- I apologize. So much has happened since visiting Girona. I don't even really know where to begin. I am going to split up my posts by event. First, Mary and I went to a small Spanish tapas place called La Xampanyeria where many locals go to get all boozy on cava which is only 1 euro a glass and eat big cheesy sandwiches and some traditional style tapas. We love this place and have been planning on making our way back.

We finally made our way to the Barcelona Cathedral which is walking distance from our school. The cathedral was built during the 14th century. The gothic style architecture is absolutely beautiful. I have learned so much about the Mediterranean gothic style in my architecture and painting class (I have a very knowledgeable and passionate professor) that I have come to appreciate it so very much.

The interior of the cathedral is unbelievable, it is hard to believe that something like this was built hundreds and hundreds of years ago. After visiting the cathedral we went to Museu Picasso de Barcelona. In my architecture and painting class we are learning extensively about Picasso and his life in Paris and Barcelona. It was really unreal to see Picasso's classic signature on his works.
