Hola

Hello everyone. Sorry I"ve been a little slow to update things, but I've been traveling quite a bit and find myself in Barcelona, Spain.


Today I went for a walk in downtown Barcelona and decided to check out the city park, Parc Guell.










The park and the La Sagrada Familia Catherdral ( see below) were the lifelong passion of Antoni Gaudi . He worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to the endeavor. Gaudí was an ardent Catholic, to the point that in his later years, he abandoned secular work and devoted his life to Catholicism and his Sagrada Família. He designed it to have 18 towers, 12 for the 12 apostles, 4 for the 4 evangelists, one for Mary and one for Jesus.



Sadly, the eccentric Gaudi was run over by a tram in 1926 and he was burried in the unfinished Cathedral. Construction on the Cathedral continues today with a completion date projected for 2026. Here are some more pictures of this beautiful structure.
