Raise your head [Contest Finalists August 2008]
Uploaded: August 27, 2008 00:25:13
When I left Park Guell it was already afternoon and I thought I still could see something on my first day in Barcelona. I decided that I would see Sagrada Familia Cathedral,the one I saw from the distance going up to Tibidabo. But this time I needed to find a red sign "M" which stands for the metro station. I was a bit too tired to reach it on foot this time. When I was walking down the streets trying to find it I just couldn't resist:-) every street was nice,every building interesting! I was walking with my head up admiring this wonderful architecture. I didn't think that when I reach Sagrada Familia I will have to raise my head so high that it will hurt!:-)
