Meagan por la noche: Enero 2010 (Barcelona and Berlin)

OK, so here goes it. January was a well-traveled month, which was a good thing, because it started raining in January in Ecija, and didn't let up until mid-March. Bleh. ANYWAY, back to the travels! Technically we started our holiday Euro-trip at the end of December, but I'm tying it all into the month of January. Let's begin:

Barcelona (Dec. 19-23)

Christmas lights! It was so interesting to see the variations in each city we visited.

Casa Batlló, a residential work by Gaudí.

The Sagrada Familia, also done by Gaudí. Really upset by all the cranes in the shot.

Jules and I at Park Güell on our only sunny day in Barca.

The famous mosaic tiles. Absolutely amazing to see in person.

The architecture in the park is incredible. Eerie and beautiful at the same time.

Tourist shot, claro.

Then it rained. EVERY DAY. We amused ourselves one afternoon by going to the worst aquarium EVER.

We also found this awesome indoor market with the most vibrant-looking foods. This kept us occupied for a while.

Hot tamale, haha.

Yum! Chocolate stand! This was our breakfast one morning.

Statue of Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus) doing his best Hugh Grant impression from Love Actually.

Rainy walk through Barcelona on our last night.

Berlin (Dec. 23-26)

I fell in love with Berlin. This is hands-down my favorite city in Europe. We flew there after Barcelona to spend Christmas with our friend, Erica, another English assistant in Spain. And there was snow!!!
