Lauren and I woke up pretty late (by our standards) at 9 or 10 and decided that today would be well-earned lazy day, especially since it was raining. We needed breakfast and other food, and Heather was very nice and took us to the only grocery store they had found where the milk was refrigerated. We got a bunch of breakfast, sandwich and salad material, not to mention the essentials like nutella and sparkling wine. On the way back, we stopped by this local bread shop and got some baguette, croissants, and two of the best doughnuts I've ever had.
After a breakfast, hanging out with heather for a couple hours, then lunch, we decided that we should at least go do SOMETHING touristy, just so we don't completely waste an entire day (not that it was a waste, because we badly needed the rest). So we went out to see the Segrada Familia – a massive uncompleted gothic church. We didn't go inside, because it cost quite a bit, and it would probably take about 20 minutes to walk through it and look the same as the 10 other massive churches we've walked through in the past week. We saw the church from the outside, and walked all the way around it. It's still under construction, so there were lots of cranes working all over it.
Afterward, we took the metro back to the flat. I must say – I'm very impressed with the metro in Barcelona. In Italy it was all buses, and they were so hectic and crazy, where as the metro in Barcelona is very fast, organized, and easy to navigate. When we got back to the flat, we just relaxed for the rest of the day and watched 30 rock. We went to the store and got a delicious ham pizza for dinner, and had a delicious bottle of fruity sparkling wine for dinner.
