We slept in today, after a long day in the sun yesterday this was quite refreshing. We headed out for a nice stroll along las Ramblas and did some shopping. We grabbed some fresh fruit and bread and headed back to the house to watch some futbol (soccer)! We watched Germany blank Argentina and then a rollercoaster of a ride through the Spain vs Paraguay game. Spain won!!!
7/4
We celebrated Independence Day by getting up early and jumping in line for the Picasso Museum. It is free the first Sunday of every month and so we got there about an hour early to ensure we would get in. It was a solid plan as there was a line in front of the museum all day. It was cool to learn about Picasso and to see some of his art.
This is the line for the museum, we were in front!
We also visited some other museums. Such as the Museum on Catalonia, Natural History Museum of the city, and a Museum of North, South, and Central America. The museum of Catalonia provided information from the founding of Catalonia and its many changes from Visigoths, Moors, Christians, Franco, and present day issues. The museum about the city had the remains of the original Roman city Barcino and described the layout of the city as well as showed had the original artifacts of a wine and fish factory. The museum of America was quite small and had a few ancient artifacts from tribes of the Incas, Hopi, Apache, Aztec-we were not suppose to take pictures in here but I snuck a few.
