Casa Batllo, Casa Mila & a stomach bug

Sunday, April 17. Poor Ridgely.   She came in at 5am not feeling well.  She threw up on and off til 10:00.  Then, she seemed better.  Still didn't eat, but seemed to be in good shape.  Since we already had tickets to see Casa Batllo and then Casa Mila (both houses were designed and built by Gaudi), and Ridgely wanted to go, we headed out.

First we saw Casa Batllo.  The house is like a fairytale.  Walking through it made me feel like we were walking in the sea.  Apparently, the family who hired Gaudi to build it had kids.  The kids asked that the house built like a sea, lake, forest, carnival and legend.  The house satisfied them all!  There were almost no straight lines in the entire house and millions of unique and efficient details everywhere.   The audio tour also had a video, so when the kids aimed the device at the fireplace in a room, you could see the fire in it.  You could also see furniture, rugs, etc through the device that weren't actually in the rooms.  Very cool.

Casa Mila was just as unique.  The roof was really fun for the kids - and very scary for mommy!

Unfortunately,  while playing Uno that night, Ridgely got sick all over again.  This time, she was screaming in pain.  Poor girl!
