Parc Guell (Deborah)

We have visited Parc Guell twice since being here, once back in March, and once last week. This is a very beautiful, unique, and popular park here. Throughout the park are many stone structures, tiled formations, and buildings designed by Gaudi, for Eusebi Guell, who wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona.  Think he succeeded.

Parc Guell is known for many features, one of which is the "curved benches"

Another hilarious street performer.  Man's face is poking up out of stroller appearing to be a baby.  Made hand motions for you to come get a picture with him, and if you didn't, he pouted.  Cried, laughed, clapped like a baby.  Good acting.

Today we saw photos of the devastation of the earthquake that hit Lorca, Spain.

Google Maps says you are about 500 miles from Lorca. Did you feel it?

We hope you all are not experiencing any problems!

A little late in responding, sorry. But no, we did not feel it or even know it until the day after.
