Dream come true for me.. finally had the chance to step into the cauldrons of the Giants.. Barcelona and Real Madrid!
Day 1 BARCELONA
Las Ramblas, Popular shopping stretch in the heart of barcelona.. near where we stayed.. its warm sunshine in spain.. im wearing just a polo tee in Europe! finally!

Human "statues" littered the sidewalk of the streets, and they sell animals too!

Many artists in barcelona vying for tourist's money

I was so excited to be here.. like a little boy all over again..


I did not stepped into the Nou camp because the girls were not interested.. but i was not to be denied! (just read further) Next, we had seafood paella (typical spanish food) for lunch in the open air.

Next STop: Gaudi Park.. 2 things to take away from Barcelona: Barcelona FC, and this Guy.. Gaudi.. the most unique and unbelievable designer of his time.
