Park Guell











Antoni Gaudi developed Park Guell between 1900 and 1914. It is at once playful, psychedelic, whimsical and beautiful.From the famous Gaudi lizard, to the Doric columns, to the undulating serpentine bench, to the covered corridor with its tree-like leaning columns.....I LOVED IT ALL.

  2. The leaning columns in that photo were made of rocks and soil taken from the park. It was pretty cool to walk along that corridor.

  3. The mosiac is beautiful. Such a fun trip down memory lane. Did you go to the Gaudi apartments with the wavy roofs yet? Those were my particular favs. How much longer are you in Barcelona?

  4. Ok, now I remember that place, it has a nice view, doesn't it? You certainly have good weather. Isn't Joe kind of warm in jeans?
