An unplanned outing in the country side

I see you took plenty pics of the models

yip, the unplanned outing was a laugh, tried my best to get each drivers flag holder

I am sure that BC intends the CAR models

Of course Lisbeth, i did not doubt it one moment

Sorry for the long delay, rather busy lately during the week here at work so not getting my fix of the wild here .
So will finish this off with the final sights that were visited the last 2 days , we took the metro back to Las Rambla and checked out the port and walked along the beach, at the end of Las Rambla are a group of people who dress up and act like statues..(have no idea what one calls them )
...but never the less they are excellent .
They did not move unless you put money in their containers, then they would gesture thanks and change their pose







This was one of the churches we passed, I am fascinated by the old churches and cathedral’s around the world.



We next morning early we made our way to Gaudi's "Sagrada Familia" as the hotel concierge said that there are usually queues of tourists there from about 7 in the morning , when we got there we were surprised as there was no one at the gates in queues and took a stroll around to what we thought was the back….the queue had started there -O -O -O but luckily we were about the 7th bunch of people in the queue, when we had finished the queue stretched down the street and around the Familia!! Gaudi's ideas on the construction and how his building reflect what he studied in nature are great. The "Sagrada Familia" is amazing and to think it is still under construction.



















The final photo is of the Barcelona Cathedral where we had lunch and then picked up our luggage and headed to the airport.



Thanks for following and all the kind comments, is appreciated.
