Day 3: we were able to wake up in time to eat free breakfast and it was sooooo good.

It was day 2 of the Barcelona bus
turistic on the blue line.

We drove by Casa Batllo which has blue titles on the roof that are supposed to look like dragon scales. It was design by a famous architect responsible for most of the architecture that the lines the streets of Barcelona.

10 Points: Name the famous architect. Hint: He lived from 1852-1926

For a bonus 5 points (my mom thought this should be 20 points): How did the architect die? (Neil wanted you to look this up!!)

Barcelona has 8 universities today. We drove passed the very first university.

10 points: Name the first University.



During our tour we passed by Palau Reial which is no longer used as the residence for the royal family. But it is used for special events like the reception for the sitting King's Daughter's wedding.

10 Points: Name the current King of Spain.


We're heading off to the cruise ship today. So excited! Our cruise line is another name for an outdoor festival and the ship name is the act that is restricted to wizards under the age of 17 to practice outside of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter universe.

10 Points: Name our cruise line and ship.

We have a suite with a little deck. It's pretty cool. I'll tell you more about it when I have more time. I probably will not send anything out tomorrow cause we'll be on the boat all day and the internet rates are horrible (this is costing me a fortune). My next one will be on Sun. Enjoy!
