Flat Stanley in Barcelona, Spain

My friend, Leigh, is about to get married and instead of having a bachelorette party, she asked a few friends to take a quick trip with her to Barcelona, Spain to celebrate.  Flat Stanley decided to tag along.  At first, he was a little disappointed because we didn't do much sightseeing.  However, we did do a lot of eating and Flat Stanley quickly became a big fan of Spanish meats and cheeses.

We stayed in a neighborhood called El Born.  Many of the buildings there are over 500 years old.  Like me, Flat Stanley enjoyed exploring the narrow little streets of the area.  We found a big church called the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar.  It was built over 600 years ago and I think it's my favorite church in Europe.  Flat Stanley decided we should take some pictures both inside and outside of the church.

Flat Stanley was also interested in the artwork that decorates many of the doorways and walls in El Born.  Here are a few of the ones he liked best.  He thought the chair attached to the wall in the second picture was pretty cool.

Flat Stanley was disappointed that we had to leave Barcelona after just two days but he was excited to find out that we'll be going to Leigh's wedding next weekend in Glasgow, Scotland.  Since it will be a traditional Scottish wedding, he's decided that he should get some new clothes for the event!
