Antoni Gaudi

Thursday, April 14.  Today we went to La Sagrada Familia ("The Church of the Sacred Family") and Guell Park, both of which were designed by Antoni Gaudi.   He started working on La Sagrada Familia in 1884 and in 1908 he dedicated himself exclusively to this project.   He died in 1926 and had only completed 20%.  Work continues and is expected to be finished in 2026, 100 years after Gaudi died.  It's huge.  It has a modern flare.  Like all of his work, it incorprates nature and is incredibly unique.  A treat to see.

We then ventured to Guell Park.  We explored and played in every inch of the park.  Stunning.  Fun.  Like nothing we've ever seen.  I was ready to head home long before the kids.  We didn't return to the apartment until 9pm.  They were fine, but I was exhausted!  What a fun day :)
