Confessional

Very pretty in there!
The pipe organ
More windows

The stained glass was amazing everywhere, even the smaller windows.
One last picture

Of the inside, anyway.
Tortoise column

There are two tortoises at the base of columns on the Nativity facade. They represent the land and the sea. They are also symbols…
Birds!

You can see a duck and some birds.
Birth of Jesus

Since it was Christmas they had a staircase so you could visit the statue of the Birth of Jesus. We stood in line. to see.
Adoration of the kings

To the left of the baby Jesus.
Adoration of the shepherds

to the right of the baby Jesus.
One more of baby Jesus

They rushed you right off the platform so we did really well to get two pics!
Quick lunch

Yes! McDonald's across the street!
Bad luck

We felt bad eating at McDonald's but we had such bad luck with the food earlier that at least we knew what we were getting.
Bus stop

We didn't mean to spend the whole day at Sagrada Familia but there was SO much to see and it was so awesome. We spend hours there.…
On the bus

The headphones plug in to the bus and they give you a tour of Barcelona as the bus drives around town.
Park Güell

We decided to make the day all Gaudi so we hopped off the bus at Park Güell. The stop was a few blocks away from the actual park.
Uphill

It was a LONG walk to the park and up a very steep hill!
Almost there

Just when we thought we were there...stairs.
Entrance!

Finally! We got to the entrance of Park Grüell!
Tickets

This way to buy tickets!
Long lines

The line was too long to see the inside of the building. It was getting dark!
