Sightseeing!

Yesterday we were supposed to go to the Palau Musical, but needed reservations further in advance and were not able to go. Instead, Patsy, Caroline and I went to the Cathedral, but sadly you have to be completely covered up, and they were wearing tank tops. Typically I'm the one who isn't dressed correctly, but I was wearing my "maxi-dress" which has flouncy sleeves that cover my shoulders.

So instead I went back and napped. Then we went to the Jason Mraz concert, which was fun, though I only know The Remedy and I'm Yours. He was fantastic live though. After that, we all came back and Manisha and Stephanie turned into grilled-cheese making machines, turning out about 10 sandwiches from two different stoves. It was impressive.

Today Elisa and Ken took us to Mont Juïc, where we went to the Miró Foundation. I loved that. His art is soo cool. We wanted to go to the Museu d'Arte Nacional de Catalunya, but it closed at 7 and we were minutes too late. We went to the Olympic Stadium, where the 1992 Opening and Closing Ceremonies were held, and that was closed off because they are setting up an entire week in advance for the Madonna concert on the 21st. However, we did get to see the cats that live there because a woman was pouring out about a dozen cans of cat food into plastic disposable plates and slipping them under the guard rails for the cats. They were all so frail and tiny! Poor things. One came up to me and rubbed on my leg. They were so sweet. Then we walked down to the amazing plaza that leads up to the grand entrance to the Stadium, just as the sun was setting. It was incredible.

Katie and I walked down and saw the fountain show and then hopped on the metro to come back.
