I still have the original Yorkshire DNA running through my veins, or wherever we keep DNA, but I have now officially lived (a very appropriate word in this case) more time here in Catalonia than in Barnsley.<br />Was taken up to see the Gaudi buildings on my first year out here (having never heard of him before; sorry, art knowledge = zero), and loved it all. It's amazing, I have no idea how most of his buildings stay up or what he was taking while he designed them. The Park Guell is wonderful too. When , if, I ever get time to blog a bit more regularly I may put some photos on that we took last year.<br />The Sagrada Familia church, when I first saw it back in 89, they said it would never be finished, too complicated and expensive. Luckily computer techonolgy has been able to recreate and understand the wierd plans of Gaudi's imagination, and the Vatican isn't short of a bob or two (bob = money in UK = shilling, i.e. 5p, or 12p depending. Confused?).<br />Anyway, to cut a long story short, if you ever visit, let me know and I may be able to offer you a guided tour - for a sackful or €uros (for your knowledge 1$ = 4000000000000000 €uros at present).Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-37069190371351091642012-06-16T16:44:25.351-04:002012-06-16T16:44:25.351-04:00Thank you, Emma!

Scary, disturbing, and mesmerising.<br /><br /><b>Yorkshire Pudding,</b> that should teach you not to make comments on blogs whilst extremely drunk. I forgive you, too.

Please forgive me for suggesting that America should consider adopting a beaver flag. I was extremely drunk at the time having been plied with excess bottles of "Wild Turkey" from behind the social club bar. I am proud to inform you that Brian is in fact a Yorkshireman and was drawn to Catalonia by that thing called love. He was also being pursued by the Inland Revenue for tax evasion so he'll feel very much at home in Barcelona.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-85449755448663811972012-06-16T12:11:13.849-04:002012-06-16T12:11:13.849-04:00I did my thesis on Gaudi, I'm wild about his b...I did my thesis on Gaudi, I'm wild about his buildings. Luckily I managed to get to Barcelona with hubby shortly after we met and I have seen them all. They are quite beautiful. The Sagrada Familia looks scary as hell to me for some reason. It disturbs me, but I like it all the same. So individual. I recommend all to visit and see them, and Barcelona is a very beautiful city as well.All Consuminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089119991474852732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-21546802871295143012012-06-16T08:48:48.431-04:002012-06-16T08:48:48.431-04:00Yet another great and enlightening post!Yet another great and enlightening post!Emma_pshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com
