Ttibidabo


So this entery will be brief. I am not sure how many of you saw Vicky Christina Barcelona, but there is one scene where they go to and old amusment park that looks over the entire city, if not no worries. Anyhow on my last full day in Barcelona I went there. It was perhaps one of the most amazing sites in Barcelona. You have to take a cable car up, to a tram and then tram to get up the mountain. Then once you make it up there it is absoulty huge! So here are a few pictures from our day trip up the mountain.

Girona


Well - if I can give one piece of advice to anyone who is going to Barcelona, is to take the 1.5 hour train ride up to Girona, because it is absolutly gorgeous! We went two fridays ago and I absolutly fell in love with it. It is inland of Costa Brava, another place that I want to see. Anyhow we went for a morning trip and went all over the city. Walking along the bridge, through the church, the old Jewish neighborhood, and the Muslim Baths (i think that is what they are called, but I am not 100% sure) Well any how after spending the morning here we rushed back to barcelona and then in a skip hop and a jump we where on are way to Madrid... But I will save that for another blog entery, this one is about Girona. (more pictures then words again, oh well)
