First, I wanted to say that I have enjoyed reading the comments and messages from everyone. It makes me happy to be kept up-to-date on what is going on with everyone, even when I cannot see you in person or talk to you on the phone.
Now, on to the photos. I apologize that they are out of order; this is how they uploaded and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them back in order. I will do my best to explain them, though. Here we go!
On the rooftop of La Pedrera, an apartment building designed by Gaudi in 1912. He took his designs from nature (see the sculpture in the background).
For the Laker fans, Gasol on the side of the Corte Ingles, the giant department store in Barcelona. Barcelonians don't care that the Lakers lost the Finals. :)
Looking down into La Pedrera from the rooftop.
Meghan, Jen and me on the rooftop of La Pedrera.
Me and Meghan on the roof of La Pedrera (the roof was pretty cool).
La Sagrada Familia, a church that was also designed by Gaudi (and still isn't complete).
Barcelona grafitti.
Political grafitti in Barcelona, leading up to the Park Guell (also designed by Gaudi).
Tee hee.
Jen outside of Happy Pills, a kitschy candy store.
Finally, the apartment... this is the terrace...
...and here is the view of the Park de la Ciutadella from our terrace...
...and here is the view of Estacio de Franca (the train station with the semicircle windows) and Avinguda del Marques de l'Argentera (the street we live on) from our terrace...
...the view of Montjuic (the mountain park in the far background) from our terrace...
....and this is the view from our patio in the back.
If you made it this far, I apologize again for the disorganization in the photos. I promise to post more. :)

Hi Darcy,
You are probably really surprised to get a message from me on your blog...this is the first blog I have ever been to or written on. So here is hoping I am doing it right. I loved the pics, it looks like you are having a great time. Before you know it, it will be time to come home.
I have been really busy, what's new right. But more so as Ant finished his 400 gallon aquarium and left to go to a conference in Boston and of course it sprung a leak!!! He has been home for a week and will be leaving again Tueday for Peru and Columbia for a month.
Kate is here for her two week vacation in Southern Cal and Tee closed escrow and moves into her new house this week.
I'll write more later but want to see if I do this right.
Love you lots, Aunt Renee
darcy, the photos are amazing! it's absolutely gorgeous over in barcelona...i'm so jealous of the view from your terrace...i would LOVE to wake up and go to sleep everyday looking out from that view...i would NEVER want to leave =p! i'm so =) to know that you're doing well...can't wait to see what more you'll do!
ok so I'm like really jealous. But it's alright because I'm sure you'd feel just as jealous as I am feeling now if you knew that I sat in a debriefing meeting at work from 10am to 4pm. You sure missed out!
take care
hey! i'm so glad you're having a great time! i loved the la pedrera and the sagrada familia brings me back to memories of when i was constipated out of my mind and i made christina sit at the starbucks facing it until i could go. she's like, ok....i'll write postcards. and i ordered some strong coffee and just sat there. and it worked! =) miss you! thanks for posting!
