Park Güell!

Park Güell
When I think of the famous Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí, Park Güell is one of the first places that come to mind. This afternoon, my friend Natasha and I visited the beautiful park.

I honestly couldn't believe my eyes,
Park Güell
I've seen the park in movies and in pictures, but I would have never thought that one day, I'll be standing in what was once Gaudí's backyard. Natasha and I walked all around the park, admiring everything, we even went into the Gaudí house's
Casa museu Gaudí
which is now a museum! Entering his house, we got to see furniture that he made, his bedroom, the pray room, even his bathroom! I was overly excited about this experience. 
Gaudí lived in that house for 20 years, and to think I was stepping on the same floor as he once did, felt so unreal. I will definitely be visiting the park a few more times while I'm here. If you ever come to Barcelona, you can not leave without visiting Park Güell. I promise you, you'll love it.
