Ok, so now that you can see what the day was like let me narrate the interesting night we had...

Well first off we started the night as a big group of 15 of us at one of our favorite hang outs - O'Rileys Irish Pub. We are friends with Eugene the bartender so it is a fun place to start the night. Erin and I started the night out there dancing of course!!

Please notice the lovely bronze color from the beach :)

After hanging here for a bit we wanted some place with more dancing so we went back to a place we had not been in awhile... the Indian place with the gypsy!

The music was GREAT there and we danced and danced! Andre was having the time of his life with the ladies because we ad another run in with the gypsy and this time we got a picture!

He was aware he didn't have to tip this time! lol!

Theeennn we met these girls from Valencia and they were celebrating a bachelorette party and they loved Andre as well! We all danced with them, they were a blast and so cute all dressed matching! The bride is in the blue wig!

They really made the night fun and were super nice!!

Anyway it was a great night, can't wait to see what tomorrow shall bring! :)

Last day in Barcelona! Today we went to this the area with a bunch of Gaudi buildings and it was so cool! The details in the architecture are amazziinngg!!!

This is where he lived in Barcelona!

Then we saw this tunnel thing that is actually really famous! It was actually in the season finale of America's Next Top Model with Melrose where they walked down the tunnel as like Zombie Brides.

SO COOL!! Below is a great view of a bunch of his work! It was pretty overwhelming, but really awesome!

That was the big highlight of the day! The rest of the day we just had a little more time in the city and Brittany and I grabbed a delicious lunch at a little cafe. It was super yummy! :)

Day 16 - Barcelona

Hola! Second day in Barcelona!! Today we went to "The Cathedral de Barcelona" and it was gorgeous!!

There is a dress code and you can't wear shorts or have exposed shoulders as a sign of respect. We saw them turn people away, so luckily we dressed correctly.

Then after that we went to the "Palau de La Musica Catalauna" a famous theatre that holds thousands of shows every year!

Me and some of the girls are going to see a Opera and Flamenco show there tomorrow night! :)

We stopped for lunch at this cute little cafe and I had some Nutella ice cream!!

After sight seeing during the day we went to this delicious asian restaurant on the beach that night! The view was gorgeous and the food soooo... yummyy!

We followed up by going to this Club/Lounge called Carpe Diem! Shout out Courtney!!! I took a photo for you!

It was a fun night! Thanks Barcelona ;)
