Today we decided to explore more of Barcelona being that it is our last day in Spain. First we stopped at the Picasso Museum which was nice, however, the chocolate museum was right up our alley. Upon paying our entrance fee we recieved a delicious chocolate bar (all three were gone by the second exhibit). Following the chocolate museum we walked to the Cathedral de Barcelona, a church inspired by Gaudi, but much different than Sagrada Familia. After a brief stop at Starbucks we made our way to the Arc de Triumph (pictured above) which is a five minute walk from Jan's flat. We took the metro to Placa de Espanya where we saw the Magic Fountain and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. In our pictures you will see this amazing structure which we had mistaken for a palace.


As our week in Spain comes to an end we have decided that we will miss the country very much, but we are excited to experience the sights and food in France. Our flight leaves at 5:45 am and our taxi will be here in four hours...buenos noches and bonjour Paris!

  1. from our skype session you may want to practice this sentence: Je meurs de faim et de chaud. Je sue comme un cochon. Où puis-je trouver de la nourriture et une douche froide tout de suite? Merci.
    Good luck. :)
