We will be back home tomorrow night.
We did not see much of Madrid. We are more exhausted than we anticipated so we hung at the pool today, went to a mall for hamburgers and watched a movie in our room. Tomorrow we fly home to the US but will not be back in Avon Lake until midnight. What we are looking forward to most.....our own beds, television in ENGLISH, toilet paper that is not in tiny separate squares, snacks that don't cost 3 euros and most of all Larry/Dad!!!! Parker adds "football, my friends and my wife (aka Xbox 360)."

Despicable Me was adorable! ;)
Why do they change the names of movies?
Especially a made up name! In France they called it something different also:
We're tired!!!!
Our first really failed adventure. We got up late and took a long bus ride to park Guell without really eating. The first few exhibits were cool and beautiful! But it was too hot and there wasn't a single place to eat. We took a taxi to a mall by the beach to see a movie.
Barcelona beach:
More tiring than relaxing. I stink at tanning but Parker is an expert. You have to lay still in the hot sun. I want to be in the water.
Btw: all Spanish beaches are basically optional topless. Even if not technically nobody says anything. If that sounds cool to you, remember that the old Spanish ladies sunning themselves on the rocks enjoy letting their puppies breath as much as the young hotties.
Magic fountain...?
Way behind since my phone was stolen! Coming to you from my Mom's phone now. :/
Anyways!
So Parker and I are like let's just go see a movie the first night in Barcelona. And my mom suggests we go see this 'magic fountain.' And Parker and I are thinking 'whatever, pfft magic fountain.'
BUT! If you've ever seen a water and lights show in Vegas or something multiply that by a thousand and maybe you'll come close to how astoundingly awesome this dazzling spectacle of leaping water and gorgeous colors and music was. It performs at about 9 pm-11 pm Thursday-Sunday.
The fountain was built in one year in 1929 by over 3,000 workers for the Great Universal Expedition.
We highly suggest visiting this fountain if you're ever in Barcelona. And don't get too close unless you want to get soaked!

Tapas in Barcelona
The waiter gave me a 'special menu' with pictures. ;)
Tapas were interesting. At least it was a different experience. :)
Why is everybody walking towards us???
As soon as we reached the beach in Barcelona it started raining. :/
