Pictures of our Barcelona stay

Montserrat, This was a part of the monastery. You can see the wall and a rail up there but after that point there isn't a rail or a well worn path to the top of the rocks you can see behind it, which is where we decided to hike up to.

This is the part you just saw in the picture above after we climbed to it. A lot of people have camped here and you can tell because of smoke on the rocks. Wouldn't it be great to camp somewhere like this?
Trying to make a fire in a cave; We didn't succeed but here you can see where the smoke has blackened the rock 
I love this picture, I made Kali and them go up faster for for it, I love crumbling structures!
Throwing money into a well, sweet 
Savannah and I taking in the gorgeous view!
More Montserrat; what a view right! while we were up there the wind was whipping around us and it felt so amazing after the struggle to get up there
A little chapel at the beginning of our trek to find the monestery
Another great view
Barcelona's Arc de Triomf. We stopped here on our bike tour! As you can see we all had a good time
A giant mammoth at some park we stopped at on our bike tour, this is a very popular picture to take here. I think I had the easiest time getting up there since my legs are so long. 
The beautiful Barcelona beach!
Gaudi's cathedral that is still under construction and will be for like 40 more years
We stopped for food and sangria at a place on the beach while we were on the tour. Food wasn't that good but I liked the sangria
This picture is from the night Spain went wild! Spain won the Euro cup while we were in Barcelona. The game was really fun to watch and everyone just went crazy after it was over.
We went to this really awesome fruit market and bought smoothies and cherries that were really good
We had a huge Paella plate and 6 of us had plates as full as Kali's here
I like paella too!

This is the Dow Jones Bar we loved it here. This was our second night in Barcelona (night after the game), the bar was slow because everyone was dead from the night before but that is perfect for us since all the prices of the beers and shots go up and down based on the demand for the drinks! So we spent the night looking at the screen trying to see was cheap drink we would have next. Great time!
