Barcelona, Spain

The Elsea family and my family explored Barcelona. There were lots of things to see and do. We first went to the La Sagrada Familia (the Sacred Family), who were a super rich family who wanted something to be remembered by in Barcelona and all the people in it. The Palace is huge. The Palace was started in 1909 and it is still being worked on today. You can tell why too. Every square foot has multiple designs. Two big towers shoot up from the top of the roof. You can see two more being worked on. what makes the Palace the most beautiful is the fashion. Since many different people have worked on the Palace there are many different designs. There will be a square pattern and then all of a sudden a triangle pattern. This is the cause of many different designers. After the stunning Palace, we walked on the La Rambla. La Rambla is the busiest and most popular street in Barcelona. People walked up and down the street. Next we went down to the sea by a port. The sea we went down to was the Mediterranean. It was so pretty. By the sea was a huge aquarium. We went inside and looked around. I saw cuttlefish, sharks, octopi, and lots of other cool fish and mollusks. A fish that got me excited was the Long-horn Cowfish. I had done a report on them at school. We took a picture and that is the yellow fish you see in the picture. Our next stop was a Picasso museum. It had many of his paintings. Picasso lived in Barcelona for part of his life. Many of the paintings were made by him at age 15! You could see how he changed his style completely over his lifetime. I liked the museum. I thought Barcelona was great!
