Saturday morning we headed down to breakfast to find Narnia. They had cold milk which gets me excited already, and freaking scrambled eggs. They had coffee as usual and good wholesome pastries. I'm a fan. After the breakfast we hopped on the bus (it's Saturday still you didn't miss a day, UGA en Espana got their real program planning choices not correct) and took a four our bus tour. It's fairly difficult to see if you're sitting on the aisle seat but we made a few quick stops. The first one we made was at the top of a large hill (it probably had a name but don't focus on the details) and were able to see the entire city of Barcelona down below. Although it was rainy and fairly foggy out, I could still respect the magestic city. In the distance you could see the Segrada Familia (an indian family pointed that out to me :-)) and the Med as well. After the view from the city we made our way to the parque Guell which I was more than excited about. Gaudi basically runs that cities architecture and had an entire park of amazing architecture. It had the house he lived in, and open areas to play and explore. We spent about an hour walking around the park looking at the different architecture, it was quite beautiful. After the park we headed to the Segrada Familia which was also on my list of have to see items. It's awesome to see. Seriously. I've seen it in textbooks since 8th grade and it's just as cool in person. We drove around it but weren't able to get out. It was still amazing from the bus. After the Segrada Familia we made our way back to Fresco (the pizza place!) to eat as much as we wanted once again. I was pretty psyched again. After the great food I discovered on the internet that the hotel had a spa. Three of us decided to take advantage and relax for an hour or two in the spa. It had a huge hot tub, a sauna and a steam room. We took advantage of all three (I made sure to drink lots of water mom) and our muscles felt so much better from walking around Europe for 2 months. After the spa we took a nice little siesta, went and got dinner at Subway (makes us feel comfortable) and went to a place called Oveja Negra (black sheep) to have a brew and made our way back to the hotel to call it a night!
