Barcelona

Saturday, November 3rd
Here we are in the Detroit Airport, waiting to board our flight to Amsterdam. We were fresh and dapper and excited! Then we flew across the Atlantic Ocean. I watched three movies, and did not sleep. We, luckily, arrived early in Amsterdam. We had about an hour and a half to get through the passport check and find our flight to Barcelona. I set off the alarm when we passed through security. I got frisked! We made it to our gate with about ten minutes to spare. We boarded the next flight and made it to Barcelona!

Sunday, November 4th
This is what we looked like after no sleep, and getting to the hotel only to find out that our room wasn't ready. We started walking around. We found la Sagrada Familia (a church by Gaudi). We had espresso, and spent a lot of time waiting for our room to be ready.



This is a picture looking towards the mountains, the sea is behind me (although we were a few blocks away and you couldn't actually see it). We finally got into our room, took naps, woke up and found Jenny and John. We ventured out to find a tapas restaurant which wasn't too difficult in Spain!




Monday, November 5th
We boarded our home for the next twelve days. The Brilliance of the Seas! We ate lunch in the Windjammer cafe. Ordered wine packages to go with our dinners. Then while we waited for our rooms to be opened and our luggage to arrive we explored the ship. I actually didn't take many pictures of the ship itself. I was preserving space on the camera! (just to let you know, by the end of the trip I only had 59 pictures left!)
