Day 13 September 22 - At Barcelona Day 2

Today we slept in for a while and then decided we would go visit Cathedral Barcelona which is 2 subway stops away from us followed by close to an hour walk - each way. Needless to say we are both tuckered out this evening. A little rest and dinner.

Here are a few photos of the magnificent cathedral which unfortunately I couldn't get a full front shot. The steeples and little chapels inside along with the confessionals. We lit some candles and said a prayer in one of the most beautiful chapels there but you weren't allowed to take a photograph. Gladys did take some photos of other saints.

Early night as we have a taxi to the airport at 7:15 am. Our flight from Barcelona goes to Paris were we arrive at 11:45 followed by a 90 minute stopover before we leave for Montreal. In Montreal we have a 4 hour layover before heading for St. John's with Air Canada flight AC2522. All is on time at the moment.

Adios!

What I could get of the front.

In the cathedral garden and cloister live 13 white geese of Saint Eulalie, one for each year of martyrdom she suffered (one for each year she lived). Think I may have only gotten 12 of them in the picture.

Couldn't resist taking this little guy sitting outside a store.
