Barcelona

We just got back from our trip to Spain, Morocco and Portugal. Wow! What an amazing trip. I want to document some of the things we experienced. After a 13-hour flight to Barcelona we toured a little bit of this amazing city. Our first stop was to the famous Sagrada Familia. Translation Temple of the Holy Family. This is a massive Roman Catholic church. This church has been under construction since 1882. It was very interesting to see the different styles of architecture on the church. There is a very realistic side and a very modern side. Supposedly this church is going to be completed in 2026. The eastside represents the Nativity; the west side is called the passion or the crucifixion. The north and south sides are under construction still.

We walked around the city for a while and then headed to the ship. We were exhausted. Our first day on the boat was a sea day. Jim and I took advantage and slept in a long time!! It was a little difficult for me to adjust to the time change. Spain is 8 hours ahead of us. Our first stop was in Casablanca.
