MY SECOND "BEST DAY EVER"



We are in Barcelona and we rode two Metro trains today to get to the statue of Chrisopher Columbus down at the port.



This is me and my Dad on the bridge across the harbor. There are restaurants, a big mall, an Aquarium, and Imax on the dock across the bridge.


Then we walked up the Ramblas. My favorite part of our walk was seeing all the street performers dressed up funny. This picture is my favorite picture because it's a guy sitting on a toilet. A little boy stood by the toilet man to get his picture taken, and the guy pretended to fart really loudly.


We explored several alleys on the sides of the main Ramblas street. It stunk a little like the sewer. We saw many stores in some of the alleys. I like alleys.


This is a picture of little mice that are very cute. We were passing a little stand on the side of the Ramblas walkway and we stopped and looked at the animals. There were gerbils, ferrets, chinchillas, bunnies, chipmunks, birds, turtles, chameleons, and more for sale. It was funny, because where we live they don't have pet shops in the middle of the street.

There was a big tile mosaic in the middle of the Ramblas made by Joan Miro, a famous artist from Barcelona. He gave it to the city.

Everything we saw was very cool!

  1. Yeah, Gloria! I can't believe that man is on the potty! I studied Miro in school,too. How exciting! I want to squeeze the little mice. They are so cute! Our cat brought us a lizard tail yesterday. Today he brought us the other half. Your fish is still upside down and still very alive. We call him "Squishy Fishy".
