Barcelona 01/2009 again....

Waking up the next morning we had breakfast at the hotel then met our local tour guide, Ellie and took with our local guide to the city -- Parque Guell, an incredible and amazing fairytale and whimsical park designed by Gaudi to become the star of Barcelona, appearing in many movies, a season finale of America's Next Top Model, a favorite among local musicians and my personal favorite part of Barcelona - what an inspiring and beautiful place.

Then off to Mont Juicc, named for the Jewish graveyard discovered there, which is home to the Barcelona Olympic Game site, an incredible view of the city and the Mediterranean.

Off to Las Ramblas, Spain's answer to Rodeo Drive, to the Royal Palace with the Magic Fountain, to Sgarada Familia.

Ellie was adorable, bubbly, sweet and everything the people of Barcelona showed that they embody.

After a break for lunck we took a trip to the Picasso museum in the heart of the gothic quarter of Barcelona. This museum was the only Picasso museum finished while Pablo was alive and also the only one he had a hand in setting up. To stand in a room where the great Picasso once stood -to walk through the gallery of 100s of his original pieces his incredible pieces, his incredible masterpieces.

After being made a movie star in Plaxa de Catalonia (look for me in the new EFCB CM recruitment video!) We showered and got ready for dinner at The Attic Restaurant, which was fabulously full of some of the most delicious food I tasted while there, the funniest toasting table contest in a while, a great conversation with the VP of the company, and the yummiest "yellow dessert" with some fun and artsy pictures against a lighted background - we didn't leave the restaurant until wee hours of the morning -- doing it TRUE Barcelona Style!!

Remember there's no traveler like an EFCB traveler!!
