La Playa, Closed Sites, Sagrada Familia, y Park Güell

Yesterday was a monstrosity of a day.

We started out by traveling to la playa, or the beach. There were so many people, it was unreal. I have never seen a beach that crowded before. 

After sending our friends on their way at the beach, a friend and I headed out to see some architectural sites of Gaudí. We wandered around, looking at the city and found Palau Güell, but it cost to get in, so we passed it up. 

After finding two more of Gaudí's works, and finding out they both charged outrageous prices, we decided to hit up the Sangrada Familia, which also charged, but the outside is worth walking around for about 20 minutes.

Afterwards we went to Park Güell and saw only a little of what the park held. We went to the main concourse, and saw all of the artwork including the benches, statues, columns, and the lizard.

After Park Güell I came back to my apartment and crashed for the night. I was so tired that I fell asleep instantly. So ends my crazy day of walking around Barcelona.
