Barcelona 2

We went to Sagrada Familia.

 Good news: The vaulting is done,
and the roof is on.
 We were watching people walk in...
 ... and see their jaws drop.
 On the west side the windows are red and yellow.


 We went to Park Guell.
 And visited Gaudi's house.
 He lived here with his dad and niece,
until they died.
 Gaudi's bathroom.
And this is his bedroom.
 This was a model home.
2 were built, out of the 16 that were planned.

The ornament looked like a yawning hyppo. 
When Gaudi died, he was alone. 
He was hit by a trolley in 1926.
He was wearing workman's blues and it
took people three days to identify him.
