Europe - Day 3 {Barcelona, Spain}

Today  started off a little crazy. We woke up at 2 am and could not fall asleep. We finally did fall asleep and slept right through my alarm clock. We were supposed to meet everyone to go on our tour of the Sagrada Familia. Ben text them and told them to go without us and hopefully we'd meet them there. We got ready super fast, packed, checked out of our hotel and were off. We got on the subway and made it to the Sagrada before some of the others in our group. It was a chilly day. I wasn't totally prepared for cold weather so I was a little mismatched most of the time. I also didn't bring shampoo and European shampoo is just not the same. Other than being rushed and looking greasy the day was perfect.

Sagrada Familia 

We had tickets for a tour and to go to the top of the peak at the Sagrada Familia but it was windy so they canceled tours. We were lucky to be able to go in and see the beautiful architecture and stained glass.

The building has been under construction since they started building it in 1882. They keep adding on and doing more. It will supposedly be finished in 2020.

The rain in Spain!

My favorite pastry so far...the neopatoliana. White and milk chocolate, buttery soft sweetness.

We got on the ship, the MSC Splendida, and were so surprised how different it was compared to other cruises we have been on. They did things a lot different and there were so many people speaking different languages it was just nuts.

They did the life preserver training in about ten languages. This cruise was also different because people could start their cruise at any stop so there were new people getting on everyday. It seemed kind of crazy but makes sense for Europe.

We went to dinner in the dining room and met our waiter, Nelson. The food wasn't our favorite but it was a fun night. We were so ready for a good nights sleep that we went straight to our room and crashed.
