We left Milan in the evening and headed across northern Italy and southern France on an overnight train. We arrived early in the morning in Barcelona. It was hard to imagine but people in our car on the train were asking, "Is this Barcelona? Is this the right stop?" Vern and I were able to say with confidence, "Yes, this is Barcelona. Just not the main train station. You can get a bus or take the metro over to the other station!" Who would have thought we would be the seasoned travelers at this point.
It was so fun coming back to Barcelona. We knew the city and we were headed for the same Hotel Continental on La Rambla, the main walkway to the bay. We walked from the train station to our hotel, dumped our luggage and headed out again. Vern wanted to be sure we had a chance to see the Cathedral of Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia, as well as have a chance to interact with the people.
We met two sweet women at a clothing store and a nice man at a coffee shop. When we stopped by a bakery near the bull ring we met a very nice couple, Fabiola and Hugo. We have stayed in contact with them through email.
Thank you so much for taking a look at our photos. The trip was incredible. Getting to see Jeanna and Eli and meeting some of their friends was awesome. We thank God for blessing us with a safe and fun-filled adventure. We are proud to be from the United States and American citizens and hope we represented our country well. We are grateful to have the freedom and resources to travel and learn about this amazing world we live in!
If you find yourself traveling overseas in the near future, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to share things we learned along the way about traveling in Europe!
