We have had an unbelivable journey through the most fantastic singular work of art and architecture in the world. It's only my opinion, but I cannot believe it wouldn't be shared by anyone who has seen Gaudi's La Segrada Familia.
He achieved his goal of elevating the viewer to a spiritual place of holy beauty. If the being of god exists, it resides in the Segrada Familia.

Gaudi was the most talented, gifted artist I have ever seen.
I have so many beautiful pictures I wish I could share them all, but blogspot will not accomodate.
Today we went, (hiked up, up, up...like Piestewa Peak), to the
The Park Guell.
It was equally astonishing and overwhelming.
Gaudi devoted his life to his work. I just started reading one of the only books published in english about Gaudi; his life and work. It's an interesting factoid that Spanish artists Picasso and Dali both ridiculed his work.
Jealousy?
I would love to see all the photos when you return.
