For being built in a gothic style, the colors inside were surprising, yet beautiful.

So I know there are a lot of pictures of churches throughout this blog. And frankly the reason I go to them is to check the box for a historical site. Although the churches are impressive from an architectural perspective, they typically don't do much for me otherwise. La Sagrada Familia was the first church that I went in where I didn't feel like the iron hand of God was coming down to kill all sinners. It was a welcoming place with awesome beauty, and the first tourist church I went into where people were actually quiet and respectful (I think it had something to do with folks being so impressed by the color and the ceilings that they just shut up). Regardless, my point is that this is the first time I'm genuinely glad to have gone into a church.
Afterwards, my girlfriend treated Josh and I to a helicopter tour of Barcelona. This accomplished two things; I got to see Barcelona from the sky and I finally got to take my first helicopter ride! Thanks, Jackie!

The helicopter ride was unforgettable and makes me want to do more of them, not only in cities, but across all terra.
And then I found this Barcelona Cafe Racer to cap off an amazing day.
