Barcelona - what a great place!

We have been staying in a small hotel just off the "main action" street in Old Town, the Rambla. It's quite nice, large room, huge bathroom, free WiFi (but it doesn't work for the iPod), €63/night. But no breakfast. The Rambla is huge, with hundreds of people meandering up and down, looking at the kiosks, having snacks, watching the erformers, etc. We don't have a photo of it, yet.
We went to the market place for breakfast, good place for ham & eggs. The market is unbelievable. There are photos.
Today, was Gaudi Day. Most people who come here have to do a Gaudi Day. We visited the 4 most-viewed examples of his work here: the still-under-construction Sacrada Familia church, an apartment building, a residence, and a park. They were exhausting, but worth it. We didn't go in any except the park. If you want to learn more, google Gaudi.
