Antoni Gaudi

We got home late tonight and I honestly can't decide what pictures to post for today. You will just have to wait. It might take up a post or two, I haven't decided yet.
Hope the advent keeps you entertained enough for tonight. 
Christmas : 5 days away
Home Time : exactly 2 weeks from today!

Today I mentioned to Eric that yesterday we enjoyed a day of nature. We saw the beach, the water, the palm trees and a beautiful market. We ate wonderful fruit and drank great fruit juice creations. Then, today was a man-made day; and as Eric pointed out, "a man-made, inspired by nature." Which is true. Here is a little sample from Antoni Gaudi, an architect who largely influenced Barcelona's modernistic and artistic advances in architecture. They really are some of the coolest we've seen, and we learned today that he took much of his inspiration for his small details from nature. From the animals, plants and natural laws that surrounded him. These are a few of his greatest and most popular works.
