Barcelona, Final Day (plus random city shots)

On our final morning, we ate breakfast on La Rambla. We sat down just as the restaurant was opening (around 9 am), and did some people watching as we ate. One thing Matt and I both commented on was how many American accents we had heard during our stay. There were several people out running, and the groups of tourists and locals slowly started appearing.

My breakfast- Parisian omelette (just eggs, really) and chips with coffee

Matt's breakfast- eggs, chips, and chorizo with coffee

On the way back to the hotel, we grabbed some churros for the kids.

Chocolate covered- tasted like Hostess donuts

Plain with no sugar for this one

Then we checked out of the hotel and wandered for a short time until our taxi arrived. The trip home was pretty boring (thankfully). We got home in time to eat and get the kids to bed in preparation for school the next day. Next time we will build a little more time in to adjust when we get home.

That's all for the trip. I do have several pictures from when we walked around that didn't really fit into our stories from the past few posts. So here they are.

A terrible picture, but this was a rest area in the Amsterdam airport. It looked like a park setting, and had nature sounds piped in. The kids obviously loved it.

Every little alleyway had apartments or more shops

People would dry their laundry on the balconies, even putting up underwear where everyone could see

So many interesting buildings

Those last three pictures are of Palau Guell, another Gaudi-designed building, which was on the same block as our hotel. They do tours there, but we weren't able to fit that in.

I hope you've enjoyed sharing our first European holiday!
