¡Hola! (Hello in Spanish.) I was just in Barcelona, Spain. We flew (on a plane, duh. I don't have wings) to the most horribly laid out airport in the history of the world. You have to walk about 10 minutes through empty halls in one direction, then back through other empty halls just to get from the gate to the door.
Barcelona is the city of....of....of... OK, it isn't the city of anything. But it is nice! It is on the Mediterranean Ocean and has a population of about 1.6 million people. It has a lot of palm trees. (like this.)
For you Canadian people, Palm trees are trees that grow near the hot ocean. (A hot ocean is a ocean that is warm. Just a heads up.) There were Orange trees to, but I need to save room for the writing. So when we arrived, we went to our hotel, Splendom Suites. The hotel was nice! (Hey! I see you not paying attention. Listen up!) After that, we went to a huuuuuge Roman Catholic church called The Sagrada Familia. (Sacred family.) It was this huge church that this Spanish architect built. The church pillars were styled after trees (or what they wrote in English, "threes". We looked at the French and translated.) So then we- alright, alright. The architect was named Gaudi. (GAU-de). Can we move on? So then we went back to the hotel and found a pub-restaurant and ate dinner. Then we went back to the hotel.

In the morn we went to the aquarium. There was sharks, sting rays, fish, sunfish, and coral plants, bivalves, gastropods, porifera, and who knows what. Here is a video. The big fat one is the sunfish.
Tell me if it does not work. After that we saw the ocean and wanted to jump in (a first-of-the-lifetime urge for me.) Then we went to a giant pillar with a statue of the person who discovered America on top (guess who!) We took an elevator up the column to a viewing deck. It was old and wobbly and it was high up. We went down soon after we went up. After that we went to the main tourist street, La Rambla. We then had lunch (we had Spanish tapas) and went to the cathedral. It was mostly chapels dedicated to saints.(boring. Hey! It's an opinion.) Then we went up to the roof. We saw sights of Barcelona. Here is a picture.
After we had dinner, the morning came and we went on the flight home.
Bye!!!
