Park Güell

I've wanted to go to Park Güell so bad this whole time and I was scared that I wasn't going to be able to buy tickets. They had sold out on their website but I found a third party site that had some available, even if they were a little bit more expensive.

A lot of fun designs by Gaudí are in the park. Think colorful tiles, mosaics, plants, sculptures, and awesome rock arches. It's a huge park with a path that takes you around to the different sites. There are two houses that look similar to gingerbread houses. One is a gift shop and the other has an all blue interior with old maps, drawings, and some history of Barcelona inside.

It wasn't a super hot day - perfect - but thunder and lightning began just as we were about to leave! And not a minute after I got onto my bus to go home it started raining. How lucky I was to not have to wait at the bus stop in the rain. It wasn't even a normal city bus, it was much smaller and specifically for this neighborhood so there was no covering at the stop, just a pole with the bus number on it.

Anyways, I'm glad I got to see Park Güell before I leave (which is soon) because it was one of the top things on my list. It's kind of hard to believe my trip is almost over. I also still can't wrap my head around the fact that I've lived in Spain for a month! Everything will probably sink in once I'm back home.
