Mike was already awake when I got up this morning—I hope his
jetlag does not last too long. We went down for breakfast and then went out to
look for the Santa Maria del Mar church. We had walked by it yesterday, but it
was not open so we were hoping that (on a Sunday) it would be. We walked to the
end of the Rambla and then along the Passeig de Colon. I pointed up the main
Post Office to Mike but he did not seem too interested! We angled back up
towards the Placa de Catalunya and found the church and it was open. It dates
back to the 1300’s and is done in the Gothic style. It is very beautiful and
worth seeing!
We checked out of the Residencia and dragged our suitcases
through the metro to our last residence in Barcelona, the Eric Vokel Suites
near the Sagrada Familia in the Gracia area. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with
kitchen/dining room/livingroom, 2 bathrooms and a terrace. My brother and his
wife will arrive tomorrow. After checking in, we walked over to the Sagrada
Familia and sat outside in the sun just enjoying the day. Later on we walked up
the Gaudi Avenue and stopped at a small restaurant for churros and chocolate.
It was a low-key day but the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed everything
(especially once we reached our apartment!)
