Wow, Barcelona was amazing. Barcelona is located on the Northern Mediterranean Coast of Spain. My friends and I stayed in a Hostel one block away from the coast. The views of the city were amazing. One day we hiked to a castle that looked over the city, and on the same day we checked out the 1992 Olympic Park and Stadium. Sadly, a lot of the Olympic Park grounds were all run down, but it was still very cool to see. Then the next day we spent seeing Gaudi’s art and architecture around the whole town – from the park, to his house, to the Temple de la Sagrada Familia. These sights were amazing, especially the temple which is not going to be completed until 2026.
Every night we all drank Sangria, and ate Paella. The Paella was so delish. On two random nights we stumbled across traditional events and festivals. One of the events was very weird and dangerous. Spaniards dressed in devil and dragon costumes, and shot fireworks at people in the street. As a group of travelers we really could not figure out what this odd tradition represented. The next night, we found out Spain was celebrating some Independence Day event. This day included an amazing firework display that was choreographed to music, and a huge colorful fountain, and went on for 45 minutes. Thousands of Spaniards joined in on the event. This was very cool to take part in. All-in-all Barcelona was great!
London was also awesome to visit again. I saw old friends, and met up with my colleagues I worked with at St. James Place Wealth Management. I also saw the show Chicago, which was great. It was very refreshing to be back in the town I love and miss so much. I was the head tour guide for this portion of the trip, and took the group on the London Eye, toured the Tower of London, and saw many more other London Town sites.
