Thank goodness for Friday's off so I have time to go explore the amazing city I'm in! Today after getting a late start, we found our way to Park Guell, a beautiful park filled with flowers and architecture by Gaudi. I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. There were so many mosaics, huge intricately designed buildings that look different than any other buildings. What was the most amazing thing is that it was built during the early 1900s and they didn't have the kind of technology that we have now today to design and execute these complex places. I think that is what is most amazing about these places - we don't need crazy technology to build beautiful things that last hundreds of years.
(In between these posts, I got hungry and went to KFC for late night gross greasy food. FYI, not as good as in the states.)
After walking around the beautiful park, we went to an awesome Mexican restaurant Rosa Negra. It was so good and I don't know if it was because we were so hungry or it really was good. I had a chicken burrito and we all shared chips and guacamole. Rosa Negra could have given Chipotle a run for its money, which is saying a lot. We devoured the food.
Last night (Thursday, Jan. 17), we went to a fun tiny bar called Chupitos, which literally means shots. They have hundreds of shots there all for 2 euros each! So much cheaper than other places we've been to. They're not normal shots, a lot of them are on fire or you drink them with candy! One that we all tried was called the Boy Scout where the light the table on fire a little, you roast a marshmallow, take the drink and eat!
Besos! xoxo
Maybe KFC didn't taste as "good" because your taste has improved!
