It's beginning to look a lot...

like Christmas! Finley wanted to put up her tree this morning, she did it completely by herself. I think she did an amazing job.

Barcelona day six pictures are coming, we had a very packed day and I have a ton of pictures to sort through. Finley was up at 6 am this morning after getting home at 1 am, the joy of jet lag.

Barcelona: Day Five

We headed out to Monserrat today, it is reasonably easy to get to and so beautiful.  Only two trains, a cable car and a funicular.  It was sunny and cooler today, so we dressed warm.  Finley was most excited for the funicular, I guess she is going to be super spoiled by cable car rides for skiing in Aspen.  It was quite a long day and we saw some amazing scenery.  The weather on the back side of the mountain looked like rain, but it held off and it was sunny by the time we were leaving.  Finley didn't want to leave, she kept asking if there was more we could do.  The line to see the Virgin of Monserrat was much shorter than last time we were here, so we took Finley up to see it.  People were crying, I guess it must really be moving if you are Catholic.  The church itself is quite pretty, but the surrounding landscape is what really sets it apart.

Barcelona: Day Four

Clifton woke up feeling a bit better this morning, so we headed to the train station to travel to Figueres. The main draw in Figueres was the Dali Museum. Finley had a rough train trip heading up, I think it was a combination of being tired and hungry, even though we had just finished breakfast. She inhaled her lunch once we arrived in Figueres and was in a much better mood. She really loved the museum, especially all of the interactive art work. She selected a Dali memory game as a souvenir and a couple of post cards. The town was very quiet, it is the off season, but the weather was amazing. Sunny and gorgeous. The train trip back was much better for Finley, but we were quite delayed getting back into Barcelona. We grabbed a quick dinner and then it was off to bed.
