Day Three

Hey everyone
   Here are some pictures, since Grandpa helped me upload mine onto the computer.

 This is a stained glass window in the old cathedral in Barcelona, I think from like the 1300's or something. (I haven't figured out how to turn it right side up yet)

In the cathedral

This is a statue of Christ being borne by the angels.

Another Window

From the outside.

These are pictures from the tour bus, so I can't remember exactly what they are.

This is the place where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella met Christopher Columbus. I think this must have been their palace thingy or something, but I'm not sure.

This is the same building as the previous picture. I just love the old, argyle windows, don't you? See, things come back in style after centuries.....

These are original Roman columns from a temple.

This is what the temple used to look like.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. We almost got mugged today! This morning, about 9:00, we were riding the Metro (subway) to our cooking class. Three men followed us into the train, and got on and off when we did through three stops. When we slowed down, they did, and they kept looking at each other. They were walking quite close to us which was a bit odd because there was no one else there that early in the morning, lots of space. We stopped to check the map on the wall, to see which direction was next, and one of the men asked where we were going. Grandpa told them, and the guy told us how to get there. Then he moved in front of us and walked ahead, which was also weird because the two other men were still behind us. We stopped, and Grandpa said "Actually, you know what, let's go this way." The men kept going, and we walked another way. Since we couldn't take that train to get to where we needed to go, we walked for quite a ways, in the rain, which was pretty fun as I have never really got to use and umbrella before! But anyway, it's a good thing grandpa was paying attention. I hadn't even noticed those men until I noticed one walking really near me, and when he talked to Grandpa. No one talks to anyone else, it's just weird. But Grandpa and Chacha noticed them the whole way. Anyway, I will definitely keep a closer eye out from now on!
