Day 1: Travel to and 1st day in BCN



(Kirsten) 

Later that night, Brian and I went on a walk. We didn't really know where we were (or where we were headed) but we figured we'd explore the area. We found what looked like a main street and followed that down until we came upon this gigantic sculpture which sat in the middle of a traffic circle. 

View of Plaza de Cataluyna (with the Historical Museum of Catalunya in the background)

We continued in the same direction and eventually found ourselves in front of the Historical Museum of Catalunya, which faces back to our hotel from the top of a pretty big hill. Directly in front of the museum were these incredible fountains. When we approached, we saw the fountains were actually performing - there was a good crowd watching the fountains, which were spraying in synch with some music that was playing. It was a neat show to catch - and completely unexpected, which is always fun!
