Gaudi, Gaudi & more Gaudi

Please finish that church in my lifetime!

I have finally done my Gaudi pilgramage and such wonders are hard to describe. For anyone who does not know who he is go to wikipedia and enter Antoni Gaudi; go on, I'll wait...good, you´re back - now that you know all about him you can understand why it is hard to describe his work. My suggestion for when you go to Barcelona (you know you're going, admit it) is to start at Parc Guell (go to Lesseps station and walk 1km). There you will get to see Gaudi's house, the infamous bench, the lizard and other amazing examples of his work. The park itself is also amazing. There are aqueducts everywhere and those are the paths that you wander on, over and under through much of the park. In my wanders I found a bench and just sat and read and contemplated - must be my nature girl side, I do love parks and this trip has certainly reinforced that. So after much time wandering through the park and taking tons of pictures I decided to wander my way down to the Sagrada Familia (again Wikipedia, I'll wait). I didn't really know exactly where it was, just the general direction and I had no map but again I figured if I got really lost I could break down & ask for directions. However I really hate asking for directions so eventually , after a lovely meander through Barcelona I came to the mind boggling Sagrada Familia. It is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen in my life. Honestly words cannot describe it; it's literally not possible. When I start posting pictures you will understand. However I was delighted to get to see the number square up close - I know you're saying what number square? Go back to Wiki and look it up...all I can tell you is the first time I saw a picture of it was 2 years ago (on or near my birthday) and since I quickly figured out it's secret it was very appropriate. That's all the help you're getting...
