To go back and touch on Barcelona, I was amazed at the many types of architecture we saw there. I found myself thinking it would be fun to go back sometime and hire a guide who specializes in architectural tours.
The day we arrived we got there at 5:30 am and our rooms weren't available until about 3 pm. So the tour company arranged a bus tour of Barcelona. One of the places that we got out and walked around was this cathedral, The Sacred Family, designed by Gaudi. It was begun in 1882 and is really different from any other type of building in Barcelona. It takes up a fairly large area of the city, maybe a six block area. So we walked around the entire structure. Barcelona was in the 90 degree temperature range so it was pretty warm.
But now back to shipboard. Classes were held in a conference room and since they couldn't get machines so the first day was a hand piecing hexies day. Day 2 covered back stitch applique.
