Spain Journal-March 2nd- Barcelona

Day 8- March 2nd- Barcelona

Today, I wasn't feeling good. But I keep telling myself what are the chances you will ever be in Barcelona again. Take this experience and embrace it. We went to the Picasso Museum. The museum is located in two medival homes that they turned into one building. All of his art is on floor. They organize it by his earlier work to his later work, even pottery that he did. I guess I was expecting the museum to be larger then it was. But I did find his earlier sketches interesting. I also found it interesting that most artist, don't just paint. They plan there work out. Like when we saw Picasso's "Guernica" at Reina Sofia Museum, they was also sketches he did that helped him come to do his final painting of the Guernica.

After the Picasso Museum we went to the Barcelona Cathedral. It's the oldest cathedral in Spain. It is a true gothic cathedral. It is cold inside as well. It is very dark and where the nave is the chour sits.

After visiting the Cathedral, we went and had lunch and then went and walked around La Ramblas. La Ramblas is a outside market, where people can sell there art, flowers, gifts. It's really large, you need to be aware of everything around.At the end of La Ramblas is the Mediterran Sea and a staute for Christopher Columbus. We took a group picture in front of it.
