Pablo Picasso and Parc de Montjuic

The first thing on our list of things to see today was the Pablo Picasso Museum. We headed to the museum about 30 minutes before it opened but we still had to wait in line for a while. At school I have studied Picasso in art classes and history classes so it was very interesting to see the paintings in real life instead of on a projector screen. After the Picasso museum we wandered around and found one of the local markets. We tried some freshly squeeze juice (I got pineapple and orange) and then headed to a bakery near by for some pastries. I settled for a classic chocolate croissant, which perfectly satisfied my sweet tooth. At lunch my mom got some shrimp and let me tell yeah this was shrimp as natural as it can come. They still had the heads, legs, and skin on them... Yuck! After lunch we headed for the Main Street, La Rambla. This street is packed with people, tapas bars and people selling little toys you put in your mouth to make a squeaky noise. Hunter bought one of those squeaky toys and let me just say I was thrilled! Not. It did make me laugh when we learned he did pay €2 for this stupid little thing he has probably already lost. Rip off!! La Rambla is one of the main tourist attractions of Barcelona and also has tons of people dress liked statues. Some people are awful at is but others are so good they make you question if it really is a real statue or not! We stopped into another market located on La Rambla and came out with more juices and some fresh watermelon, strawberries and cherry's! After a siesta we rode the metro and to Parc de Montjuic. In order to get up to the castle on top of the mountain we had to ride a cable car. In the cable car you can see the whole city and the ocean. It was a beautiful view! We also had a great time exploring the castle a top the mountain and taking lots of pictures of the ome of a kind skyline. For dinner we different types of pizzas and shared them. May favorite was the ham and cheese! They have the best ham here and they are very proud about it too! Tomorrow we will be taking a day trip to stiges to visit the beach there. So far we are having a lovely vacation and are looking forward to being in Italy in the next few days. Goodnight!
