The Day Tour of Barcelona

Sorry I haven't been posting but every day we do the same thing and what we do every day isn't much. First we do our school work until about a quarter past twelve then we walk down to a very nice promenade with everything and have lunch then walk to the beach which is very close. After that we go back home and have dinner somewhere nice like in the heart of Barcelona called the 'gothic quarter' where you can spend hours window shopping. 

Anyway back to today. We did our school work until the usual time while dad picked up a car. We drove to a church that is so big and is still being constructed even though it has been in construction for over 100 years. Next we drove up the mountain to have lunch at Barcelona's best lamb place and it was REALLY yummy. 

Just by coincidence a museum that we really wanted to go to, Cosmocaxia was next to it. We thought it was just a small, living diorama of the Amazon but it turned out to be a huge science museum. One of the biggest exhibitions was about the first humans and there were heaps of great science exhibitions with subjects like technology, marine biology (lots of fish tanks with different fish in them) and genetics. And of course the living diorama of the rainforest was amazing. It had real life piranhas and anacondas and unique species of birds. We were even allowed to walk in the diorama. It was the best!

    Dear Olivia,
    Grandma and I thing that this story was worth waiting for; thank you much, it was very interesting. We guess that they might have run out of money over the years to build the cathedral and there would not have been any cranes a 100 years ago.
    Love from, Grandpa and Grandma.

    Hi Liv, I went to la Sagrada Familia for the first time almost 25 years ago. It was the year the Olympics were in Barcelona and they wanted everything to look nice so there was no scaffolding on it then and not much work being done either.
    That museum you went to looks amazing!
