Cruise take one





























Our Cruise was departing from Barcelona on Friday. Mario went early to Barcelona to explore. The rest of us went on Thursday, met up with Mario, and explored Barcelona together for a day and a half. We went to the Palace of Music and this time took a tour of the inside - what an amazing musical venue. We also took another look at Parc Gruel as it was raining the last time we came. Finally, we took another look at La Sagrada Familia - this amazingly designed church by Gaudi, which is still under construction, has not changed much since we saw it last year. It was Good Friday and the church was mobed with people, so we were not able to see the inside this time around. The church is supposed to be complete in about 30 years, so we decided to come back and see it with our grand kids.
The first day of the cruise was uneventful - left on time, got settled into our rooms, took a walk around the ship, ate a nice sit down dinner, and saw the evenings entertainment - a magic show - JP did magic shows every night thereafter.
