Spain -Spring Holiday Part 1 of 5
Barcelona:
Spring was kind to Sarah and I. For the first part of our super, five part European world tour we touched down upon the glorious shores of Spain. The weather was balmy and the views were well good too. It was our feeling that the Spanish people were not unlike those from our home country: easy going and keen to please. We started in Barcelona, a great place and i think we're both keen to return.
Here is ol Chris Columbus pointing to the new world.
This photo was taken in Barcelona's Gothic quarter, a tightly knit suburb of Gothic buildings filled with trendy shops, great restaurants and better bars . We had dinner where this photo was taken from. This view was better than any TV show we've ever seen. We saw doggy deals, strange encounters and even a gay relationship breaking up. Better than Neighbours.
This was the hall to our hostel. It was well nice.
On my birthday we went to a Gaudi's gardens (Parc Guell) which were originally intended as a private community. The area was unsuccessful as no body seemed particularly keen on living there (they must be kicking themselves today!). Barcelona owes him a lot as their whole tourism industry is steeped in Gaudi's legacy.
The grounds.
The Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's unfinished Masterpiece. Work began in 1886 and it is expected to be finished in 2026. Cripes.
It has many interesting statues.
And a nice door.
And a nice staircase.
We took an eight hour train to the scenic San Sebastian, a stylish city in the basque region that wraps itself around two gorgeous little bays.
This was a path leading up to the fortress at the top of the mountain that overlooks San Sebastian.
A canon.
Reclining.
Night time panorama.

Wow, they're all very pretty photos. I don’t know if it’s your technique or the subject matter... actually I’m gonna have to go with the whole `it’s Spain' thing on this one.
Hey, submit your folio to http://www.scholastic.com.au/common/about/manuscript.asp
that way if they ever decide to publish my stories they may get you (either of you really) to illustrate them for me. Which would be rad.
