Today I met up with E and D to go to Colonia Guell today (S8 from Placa Espanya). It's a beautiful, peaceful village a little outside Barcelona.

| This is a picture of the (unfinished) church that Gaudi designed for Guell. It was actually supposed to be gigantic. Later, we saw that they were holding a wedding there. |

| One of the stained glass windows, as seen from the inside of the church. |
 |
| I really enjoy the design of the balcony area. I believe it's a private home now. |
 |
| This was taken in Placa Joan Guell. It's a statue of Eusebi Guell, founder of the colony. On the left, you can see the place where we had lunch. |
Lunch was delicious! We did the menu del dia, which gives you the choice of two courses, dessert, and a drink for 10 euro. For the first course, we all ordered fideua, which is like a seafood paella with thin noodles instead of rice. Also, the flan was delicious and I regret not taking a picture of it before eating it. Next time!

| This is part of the school, which I found slightly awe-inspiring. |
Here's to spontaneity! (I was completely unaware of the existence of this place until about an hour or so before getting on the train.)
