Day 23 8:56 pm Barcelona

Went to breakfast at the hotel buffet which was really good. A little trouble with the waitress but not really much of an issue. After breakfast we were off to Santa Maria to see Camp Nou where we went on the tour. It was a little disappointing because we did not get to go in the change room and had an audio guide. The whole thing was not very well organized and there were swarms of people but the stadium was so cool inside and I cannot wait for tomorrow night.

After the stadium tour we went to the shop again and I got a Barca Toons calendar, he he. I am such a child. After that we went to the Pista de Gel aka the hockey rink and watched the FC Barcelona hockey team play against C.G.Puigcerda. The final score was 7-6 for Puigcerda. It was really fun to watch in the last period and I am glad we stayed to watch it all. It was a little bit of home, anyways. The hockey rink was smaller than the Kings rink which was a bit shocking but the crowd was cool. It was like a whole bunch of singing and drums.

Went and saw Casa Batllo and Casa Amatller which are very cool buildings and you should google them to get an idea of what they look like.

We went for dinner at a really fancy McDonalds because we cannot get enough of these Mexican Guacamole burgers, they are so good!

We went to the Palau de la Catalana which was all lit up because it was night. Very pretty.

Tomorrow is the game, so so excited!

    Casa Batllo and Casa Amatller Are very neat looking buildings. Casa Batllo i think is my favorite looking one though. Are they HUGE?!

  5. The Casa Battlo is just like an apartment building. If you were not paying attention you might walk right past it. Barcelona is full of really cool architecture and its just a beautiful city. Took a photo of a boy. There is my stalking abilities poorly demonstrated.

    Will take one if we go there today, ha ha.
